for whom not happy with his demf performance, (i haven't been there, but i can imagine that it was not that good)
i recommand you recent Wire '06 set or his One Man Spaceshipe resident set in womb club, tokyo.
sorry to not to post links, i got it from "^^^" sources, but try to google a bit, you will find...
If I had to pick one record that basically defined today's style...
http://www.discogs.com/release/19274
This record was probably the first that combined both techno and house into a cohesive piece of music with very sparse elements, which is pretty much the aim of 99% of so-called "mnml" tracks coming out now. This record gave rise to the Perlon sound, which then led to the glitchy tech-house releases later, etc...
Early Plastikman material was more inspired by acid house and the emerging hard techno styles than any of the sensibilities that rule today's scene. Although Hawtin certainly decided to push the sound that GREW out of Quo Vadis post-2000, he wasn't anywhere near the innovator or even early adopter of said sound that people paint him as.
As for Mills? While his older material was indeed ground-breaking he's quickly lost relevance today. As a DJ, he's either fantastic or horrific. Not really much else to say.

Jeff Mills is the co-founder of Underground Resistance !!!
Jeff Mills was one of the impressionists for Richie Hawtin !!!
Jeff Mills was an archetype for our M_nus god Hawtin!!!
..any words .. ????
Jeff is minimal in any case.
I think a lot of people don't understand that, because the music of Jeff is not the same minimal stuff like all the kids like at the moment!
Don't forget minimal after the hype!
Some of you might know the expression "Minimal Nation" in conjunction with Jeff Mills!

No, I meant Jeff Mills.
In the German magazine "GROOVE" from June/July 1997 is an interview with Jeff, an they called him "Godfather of the minimal nation".
I know that Robert Hood made an record with the name "Minimal Nation"
But that is all secondary.
Jeff and Robert are both minimal in my opinion.
