also, if you can track down the "digitalis" 12" on liquefaction empire,
definitely pick it up. it's a personal favorite of mine.
as far as everything else goes - "lucky cat" is the absolutely essential
isan album. it's a truly beautiful - delicate, ambient and wistful.
and that clockwork menagarie comp will be an excellent introduction to their
exceedingly rare backcatalouge.
they're only alike in their love of analog synths, but solvent sometimes
reminds me of isan in the sense that they both have that wistful, longing
quality in a lot of their music. solvent's obviously a lot more up tempo
though.
benge also makes purely analog electronic music. i can't speak for all his
releases, but i like "beautiful electronic music" well enough, despite the
pretentious title. i guess cause perhaps it's not pretentious when you
actually pull it off.
i wish more idm heads were making pure analog music as good as the output by
isan. now if they would only come and play a show in america.
hope that helped.
