Oh yes, Sigma releases some excellent stuff in 
the ambient/experimental styles that would appeal 
to fans of Microstoria, Koner, Oval, Pole, Cathars,
Tom Steinle, and maybe Senking. My personal 
favorite is the Parmentier but all are very good.

Sigma Editions Discography... 
. Rosy Parlane: #1-4 cd (Sigma 01) 
. Parmentier: luxsound cd (Sigma 02) 
. Minit: music cd (Sigma 03) 
. D. Haines: blither cd (Sigma 04) 
. Vladislav Delay: ele cd (Sigma 05)

I also have a limited double 8" release by 
Parmentier called Odessa which is a little more 
drone-oriented than luxsound but still good.
