"Nostalgik.2 follows up 2004's Nostalgik.1 with more recovered unreleased material from the Plastikman archives, sounding as timely now than when originally recorded nearly a decade ago. The music and approaches heard within these unreleased recordings reveal Hawtin's blueprint for future mind-bending projects like Concept 1 and Plastikman albums such as Consumed and Closer. From his beginning projects starting in 1990 as States of Mind and FUSE, early on Hawtin has been able to reach futuristic rhythms while working with limited technology, found here with Nostalgik.2. Beyond the drums comes a groove -- 'Plink Plonk' is as raw and jacked as Hawtin pushed with his Circuit Breaker alias from the early 1990s, created with strict percussion, shuffling drums in between distortion and minimal effects. Caught here in a serious man-machine connection, much like the stripped playfulness behind his classic single 'Spastik,' the elements are limited but the output bounces and rattles within. Moving into more experimental zones of minimalism, the B-side delves into the drum manipulation and programming style that is unmistakably Plastikman. The sheer tonal pulse of 'Kink' gets heady right from the start with delays and echoes in the mood of his 1995 single, 'Sickness.' 'Plonker' and its detuned drums twist the few channels of sound into a psychological treatment of bass and Plastik-effects also from the time of the 'Sickness' sessions."
