What is the best music for intense thinking and breaking apart your inner Empire?
Richie Hawtin is a english-born Canadian, that influenced Detroit techno scene in 1990s. He is mostly known for his works under name of "Plastikman". His experiments in sound have brought him a well-known, even legendary, status of minimalistic and meditative music producer. Now, music has never been describable substance, therefore I just want to share with you some of his best tunes. Turn up the sound and prepare your thoughts to wonder:
Plastikman - Pakard
Plastikman - Psyk
Richie Hawtin - The Tunnel
Plastikman - Ask Yourself
Meditate and Wonder...
PS More info about Richie Hawtin on his wikipedia page.

"1 Megaton" Bass
Finally that has happened! Long awaited purchase of a subwoofer for my current PA (Public Address) sound reinforcement is finally done! Meet the Meat:
One observation so far is that - Bass truly makes the difference. It's not about obvious fact of how much more powerful it sounds (and it is! glass on a table was jumping in the room)... It's just that music sounds a lot different, you hear the true atmosphere of what it's supposed to represent and transmit to you as a listener. Take hip-hop, for instance, it's obvious that the bass is one of the cores, but what does it mean for that music? My subjective point of view on this: it adds value of overfilling sound, that you cannot possibly shout over, so it immerses you on a trip into the music, rather than just casual listening, while browsing. Music with intense bass becomes the only Power of Nature that you feel, it dominates over anything. And that makes the difference!
