Inch-Time album, also on Static Caravan (but only available to download
when I last checked their shop) is really quite nice, in a laptop folk-y
kinda way, but with greater use of strings, bells, gongs and timpani. The
man is a doctor by day apparently (where does he find the time you'd
wonder...)
The Tunng album is the bizz alright ; the Beta Band meets the Books kinda
thing, I love it. The single The Maypole Song, is really really weird, and
may or may not be a cover of a song from the Wicker Man movie ? Perhaps
somebody could verify this...
Greg Davis and Sebastian Roux's Paquet Surprise is similar to the Tim
Hecker/Fennesz way with melody and noise, but is charmingly blissful.
Also digging Ricardo Villalobos' new release Achso on Cadenza - he is one
of a few producers whose work is truly worthy of the term "intelligent
dance music".
Anybody else heard any of this guy Nathan Fakes stuff ? I've only got
Dinamo, released on Traum in 2005, but this too is a beautifully
constructed piece of math house par excellence. He's an album due soon on
Border Community that I just might have to pick up.

Yes!!!! When I were a lad, whenever anyone got a record they liked, they'd
stick some sort of micro-review on idm-l to let other people know and
spread the love. These days the first you hear about it is when they sell
it on ebay. I don't know why this has happened but it's really annoying - I
got a lot of my favorite records after people around here recommended them.
Not really IDM (although there are some glitches in there) but the Tunng
album rocks, and the new EP with the Bloc Party cover rocks even more.
Sileni's also fantastic on an IDM / minimal DnB crossover tip.
