Artifakts [bc] is the fourth album by the Canadian electronic music artist Richie Hawtin as Plastikman. It is a compilation of material left from Musik's recording as well as an unfinished album called Klinik. 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, 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. less
