Consumed

Consumed is the fourth studio album by Canadian electronic music producer Richie Hawtin, and his third studio album under the alias Plastikman. It was released in 1998 by Minus and Novamute Records, with the 11:40 minute title track widely considered both the album's peak and one of Hawtin's best works. Recording Consumed was recorded in The Building, Hawtin's studio since 1995. Most tracks were recorded live to 2-track DAT in a single take and edited down to album length. Equipment used included a Roland TR-909 (mainly as sequencer), Doepfer MAQ16/3 sequencer, Kawai XD-5 drum synthesizer, Akai S3000 sampler, Roland TB-303, and Serge modular. According to Hawtin, “Consumed is an album of feedback. Everything was cross‑modulating everything else.” Critical reception
