Electronic music for home listening that lives up to its name years later

  • We Say...

    Though many prefer its more intricate cousins, for my money this is the release from the Artificial Intelligence series on Warp that has held up the best, and lives up to the "electronic music for home listening" brief that defines those halcyon days of post-rave, post-Detroit innovation. Working under his Futuristic Underground Subsonic Experiments moniker, Richie Hawtin builds up from the slinky funk of the title track to black-light dancefloor workouts like "Substance Abuse" and "Train Trac" with elegance and precision. I still don't understand just how these warm synth pads and solid, simple shapes sidestep banality and land solidly in the "compulsively listenable" part of the library. Listen and try to figure it out.

  • They Say...

    Dimension Intrusion alternates minimalist stompers like "F.U." and "Train-Trac" with more melodic, contemplative material. The latter made Hawtin a perfect match for the other producers in Warp's Artificial Intelligence series (B12, Black Dog, Polygon Window). Despite his direct Detroit inspirations -- exemplified on the requisite automobile track "Nitedrive" -- Hawtin encounters familiar territory on Dimension Intrusion's more downtempo tracks: "A New Day," the title track, and "Into the Space."
