CD Description
Richie Hawtin's full-length debut, 1993's SHEET ONE, saw the U.K.-born, Canadian-raised, U.S.-based artist emerge from Detroit's dance-oriented techno underground with a softer, more cerebral creative vision. Merging the best of both worlds, Hawtin applies the beat-based vocabulary of house and techno to his own process of minimalist composition, atmospheric textures and evocative tonal shadings. The pure, Eno-esqueambient colourings of "Dre", the quiet, ambiguous sound shadings of "Vokx", and the otherworldly beauty of "Gak" (whichwas later remixed on the RECYCLED PLASTIK EP) indicate thatHawtin is no ordinary turntablist. Still, beat-based mind journeys like "Glob", with its looping bass groove, and "Helikoptor", in which the phased tone oscillates to approximate the song's title, show that Hawtin has no intention of abandoning his techno/rave/acid house roots. SHEET ONE is an auspicious first album from a prime player in the world of electronica.
Customer Reviews
303 and 808 as pure art
If Sheet One needs classification, it is pure, stripped down acid. Hawtin has taken the visceral thrill of the 303 synth and the 808 drum machine into the laboratory, to see what happens when you examine these sounds in detail. The album is a landmark, when it first came over from Canada (in it's 12" acid-tab punched sleeve, the Novamute cd has a tiny version of this) it really sounded like nothing else. It has a fabulously dark, spacious atmosphere all its own.
Weeeird FUNKY sPaCeD out STuff!!
This album is very trippy dance type stuff. I'm not sure of all the sub-divisions within the dance music scene, but this isn't the usual pop-inspired monotonous rubbish. It's a album that works great as background atmosphere, but if you listen carefully there's a lot going on. If you like LEFTFIELD and MASSIVE ATTACK, chances are you'll like this, although it's a darker, more 'undergound' sound. Well worth a look, because chances are you don't own anything quite like this.
