Others have given some good comparisons
to this sound. Here are my favorites in this
type of style/sound that i would add:
. Robert Babciz: MoMent cd (Mille Plateaux)
. Novisad: s/t cd (Tom)
. Kristian Peters: Xmas cdep (K-RAA-K)
. Neina: Formed Verse cd (Mille Plateaux)
. A.F.R.I. Studios: Schwellwert cdep (BMB Lab)
. Shuttle358: optimal cd (12k)
. Microstoria: snd cd (Thrill Jockey/Mille Plateaux)
. Microstoria: init ding cd (Thrill Jockey/A-Musik)
. Solutore of Stareau - disk 1 (unreleased cdr-set)
. The Disc cds on Vinyl Comm also fit...
. Senking: ping 12" (Karaoke Kalk)
