As a DJ, Richie Hawtin is best known for his pummeling techno explorations; as Plastikman, he's electronic music's resident mental patient. On his fourth album, Closer, Hawtin delivers sinister grooves on cuts such as "Ask Yourself" and the manic "Headcase." But unlike previous efforts, Hawtin shows a hint of humanity here. Closer contains his first-ever use of vocals; on "Disconnect," he tries to convince himself that he enjoys a masochistic relationship. Not exactly pleasant, but it's nice to hear that even Plastikman has a heart.
