I have never ever thought of or heard any similarities between hood or hawtin. Hood is far more direct and intense than hawtin is and you could say that about any of the earlier minimal stuff. Hawtin has done his thing from the start, I've never liked any of it but thats not the point.

I think whatever people think of hawtin should be put aside in this instance. This is a great achievement for him and would have been unheard of a couple of years ago, maybe its a sign that things are changing a little.
