Try Thomas Brinkmann "Studio 1 Variationnen" on Profan.  Supposedly these
are remixes of some Mike Ink stuff which I haven't heard, so I don't know
how things were transformed.  Anyway, there's very little reverb, a very
tight sound but you can easily get lost in it due to the slowly shifting 
repetitions, rhythms going out of phase, stereo patterns etc.
