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.
