Yeah, Pan American is really good. It's Mark Nelson of Labradford -
plenty
of Labradford style guitar atmospherics plus a looser feel, some
bossa nova
beats and Pole-style pops and clicks (and his ubiquitous
metal-pipe-rolling-
across-the-concrete-floor sample). Check out Labradford if you like
the
guitar sounds.
For that organic poppier sound, try:
- Kiln "Holo" (on Thalassa)
- Waterwheel "Panchroma" (Alley Sweeper)
- Fibreforms "Stone" (?)
(these three all all connected member-wise somehow)
- plenty of those leftfield UK/etc things - Acceleradeck, Flowchart,
Piano Magic, Silvania
For droning guitar atmospherics
- anything by Labradford (maybe s/t 3rd album for starters?)
- anything by Windy&Carl (Antartica's really good)
- anything by Stars of the Lid (*seriously* drony)
- Transient Waves (there's a new 12" on Fat Cat too)
- Tomorrowland
- most things on Kranky
Beatier and noisier:
- Chessie "Signal Series"
- Eight Frozen Modules - The Confused Electrician
- Bowery Electric (Vertigo remixes is good too)
- Third Eye Foundation - You Guys Kill Me / Fear of a Wack Planet
Germanic stuff:
- anything by Kriedler, To Rococo Rot as you said
- Tarwater "Silur" (really cool - quite structured, wistful, watery
feel, with vocals
that sound somewhat Kraftwerky)
- Burger/Ink - Las Vegas
- Lithops (unstructured and experimental)
- Pluramon
- Nuno Canavarro
- Bergheim 34
- Ma Cherie for Painting
And probably heaps more that have just slipped my mind.
