Well you have the Gramm & Farben stuff which are some
of my favorite releases in the percussive area of the genre.
Actually there was a new Farben 12" that came out last
week called Raw Macro that's pretty good too. The
Dettinger cd is also a must have. Sutekh's new album is
also an amazing piece of deep glitch techno but you
have that one as well. Maybe your next purchases should
be some of the SND releaeses. Their Makesnd Cassette
album from last year is excellent as is their new 7" on
the City Centre Offices label which i just picked up
the other day. Those SND releases have a nice mix of
warmth, glitch, and minimalism. The new compilation
on ~Scape called Staedtizism is also a good place for
the warmer dubbier side of glitch electronica. A more
experimental but still very rewarding glitch electronica
release is Zammuto's willscher cd on the new Apartment
B label. For a more percussive atmospheric mimimalist
record check out the new Process cd on Fat Cat called
Space Shape. You said you have a vladislav delay
record but there are actually quite a few so any of
those are well worth having (especically the Conoco
lp on Sigma Editions, the Miltila cd on Chain Reaction,
and the helsinki/suomi 12" on MaxErnst). The Thomas
Brinkmann Concept 1 remix cd on Minus is a must have
as well. Oh wait, have you gotten Shuttle358's Optimal cd
yet? That is a fabulous mix of soulful melodic textures and
miminal glitchy electronics. Finally try the new Senking
cd called Ping/Thaw for some sinsister atmospheric
electronica.
Some of the other releases you mentioned like Alva
Noto and Ihan are still quite good but more in the
realm of start minimalism lacking the "soul" that you
seem to be after. There are a few releases in this style
that incorporate a little more depth - Bretschneider's
Rand cd, Neina's Formed Verse, and Robert Babciz's
MoMente all on Mille Plateaux are a few that come
to mind. I also found that most of the cds in the
Rastermusic 20 to 2000 series were very rewarding
as well - the Wolfgang Voigt, Scanner, Senking,
Thomas Brinkmann, and Komet in particular.
Well that should give you a good start. I've gotten
all the releases I mentioned above from Bent Crayon
if that helps any.
