Hearing „Consumed” by Plastikman is like a trip. Also addictive, but legal and without serious, permanent damage. You have to get involved, it’s not a Sunday morning croissant album. The more high-resolution the source material and the better the stereo system through which you listen to the album, the better. In fact, the most urgent intoxication arises when the large, floating surfaces with the pulsating basses slowly pumping forward the atmosphere get their power and space to unfold. I liked listening to the album most of all in an empty, freshly rented apartment at night. The tracks are consciousness-expanding, the thoughts are carried away and led to perspectives that would not otherwise be taken. The music is like a black panther roaming around you and with you through the rooms – whether those of your brain or the very real ones you are in. Elegant, questioning, contoured and powerful, shimmering in shades of blue-black, now and then also diffuse, relentless, searching, accompanying, threatening and ultimately giving a great deal of strength. In short: listen! This instruction leaflet will accompany you.
