Minimal Nation is an album by American electronic musician Robert Hood. Released in 1994 through Jeff Mills' Axis Records label, it is considered a landmark release in the techno genre and one of the minimal techno's key founding documents. A restored and remasterered reissue of the album, featuring several tracks that were originally left off, was released in 2009. A triple LP reissue was also released on Hood's own record label, M-Plan, in 2015.

Robert Hood ‎– Minimal Nation. Etichetta: Axis ‎– AX-007. Some copies contain 4 tracks by 'Jeff Mills' at 45 RPM on 'EP1' of the 2 x 12'' release instead of the 4 tracks by 'Robert Hood' that appear on the other copies. Codice a barre e altri identificatori. Matrix, Runout (A Side): AX 007-A MUSIC FOR THE PROGRESSIVE.

Long before "minimal" became a parody of itself, it was a rallying cry. Inspired equally by Detroit's promise and collapse, its architecture and its ruins, Robert Hood wrung the maximum emotion out of just a handful of synths and drum machines.

Talk about Robert Hood - Minimal Nation

Rhythm is right up there w/ "Starlight" & "The Pace" as my fave minimal tracks of all time. The track actually lives up to it's title, because every time I hear it I just wish that it was maybe two to three minutes longer because it's workings hypnotise me so much. There are some other high quality cuts on here, "Unix" & "Museum" come to mind but it's Rhythm that rocks for me on this release.

This repress features two new tracks to replace two from the original Axis version. The Pace is missed, but admittently the additional tracks are worth having in there.
