Have not heard this CD yet but I think Richie has always based what he releases around a concept or an idea. Maybe it's just me, but I tend to listen to his stuff half for the musical content but also for what he was trying to achieve with the idea. The whole Concept series of records was interesting since it represented time. Sure DE9 may not conceptually be a unique idea only to Richie, but I'm curoius to see what he does with it. btw The DJkicks series and the Blech warp CD come to mind as roots of this project. I'll never fault Richie for not wanting to explore new ideas with either sound or technology what ever the outcome. To me thats the mark of an artist.
