I'm a big fan of Isan's sound which ranges from
droney electronica to more melodic idmish tracks.
At times you can hear autechre/funkstroung
influences whereas other times you hear hints
of EAR, Labradford, and maybe even
Spiritualized.
Here is the Forced Exposure writeup on their
Beautronics cd:
"The debut album release from future retro noodlers
ISAN [who are supposedly now signed to Warp for
their future releases]. The titles resemble an audio
paint chart, and the duo have produced a subliminally
funky, organically gorgeous and occasionally
disturbing slab of electronica. Together with
the likes of Plone, Add N To X and Warp
Records, they are pioneering the future sound of
retro electronic ambient music. ISAN (pronounced
'eye ess ay en') is Robin Saville and Anthony Ryan.
Their use of cheap analogue equipment was initially
a financial necessity but has since become a
restriction that they choose to enjoy. Several
sources have compared the ISAN sound to the kind
of music from obscure children's programs you saw on sick days off from
school."
