Notes

According to Richie Hawtin, "Artifakts [bc] " should be viewed as the third Plastikman album instead of the fourth, as he explains in the liner notes. After "Musik" he began to devise concepts for an album that would ultimately be called "Klinik". When Richie Hawtin was exiled from the U.S. for performing illegally [http://www.plastikman.com/artifakts/ www.plastikman.com, Aug. 11 2008] ] , he scrapped the idea, and by the time he returned, he began working on the much more ambitious "Consumed". As such, "Artifakts [bc] " was devised as a way to bridge the periods between "Musik" and "Consumed".
