The Lilt-A remixes on A13 were good and
it definitely in a different style than the Canada.

The Pure Plastic 05 12" has two tracks. The a-side, 
called Nine Open, was produced by Ed Handley.
The b-side, called  Endless Filters was produced
by Mark Broom, DaveHill & Tim Edwards. Both
tracks on this ep appear on the Pure Plastic comp
cd called "Fake Fruit & Horrible Shoes."

Paul Mac is Paul Mac but he also records as
Herman Funker III, Jorge Zamacona, Stimulus,
Quentin Garlic, and Huburtus Krantz. Paul 
records in several different styles of music
including jazzy techno, minimal techno and
downtempo lounge tracks. Paul records for
a number of different labels including
Fracture, Fragmented, Stimulus, and Mosaic.
My favorite Paul Mac releases (and ones
that would be in the style you're looking
for:

. Quentin Garlic: Independent Order of Oddfellows 12" (Fracture)
. Paul Mac: Outerspace Obsessive 12" (Fracture)
. Herman Funker III: Extra Time 12" (Stimulus)
. Paul Mac: Old School Former Pupil cd (Fragmented)
