Notes

According to Richie Hawtin, Artifakts [bc] should in fact 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 US for performing illegaly however, he scrapped the idea and, by the time he returned, began working on the much more ambitious Consumed. As such, Artifakts [bc] was devised as a way to provide a bridge between the periods of Musik and Consumed.
