Sheet One was the first Plastikman album, written by Richie Hawtin. Richie Hawtin had previously released a first album, Dimension Intrusion, under the alias F.U.S.E.. It was released in 1993 with NovaMute Records. The front inlay of the album was perforated, to simulate LSD tabs. The cover was so realistic that a man in Texas was arrested when a police officer saw the CD on his car seat after pulling him over for a traffic violation [1].

Coming out of the minimal techno scene in Detroit, this album makes frequent use of the Roland TB-303 machine, which gained prominence in the electronic music world as a staple of Chicago's Acid House scene.
