Review of Closer

Like other Plastikman releases there's some tracks I love on the album and others I don't like as much. This album is no exception. I absolutely love tracks #1, #8, #9 and #10. They melt my brain completely and it's some of the scariest music to listen to when your surrounded by pitch black darkness. I've done this. I was outside at a farm with nothing but this hugh blanket of stars and you couldn't even see your hand infront of your own face at times. I played this album and was actually scared. I think I tripped out too and I wasn't on drugs of any kind. The ambient atmosphere on this album is some of the best I've heard. Plastikman doesn't just make minimal techno. We mixes in some very dark sounds and ambient keys with it. The track Disconnect is pretty good too but the lyrics are kind of cheesy. Not enough to make me skip this track though. The ones I don't care for on here are the ones that kind of go nowhere; like Headcase and Ping Pong. They're ok but they're just too long for their own good. Overall this wouldn't be my first pick if your new to this artist, that album would be Consumed. Also, there's these clear sheets with various pictures and words displayed on them for the inserts. Pretty neat to look at and they even smell good.
