For other "less is more" minimalist music, you might look into Steve Reich - 6 Marimbas or Terry Riley or La Monte Young (most people recommend Reich's Music for 18 Musicians, but I find it kind of boring). In the more "avant-garde" areas, Stockhausen - Kontakte, John Zorn w/Christian Marclay - Forbidden Fruit (a piece that appears on a couple of records), Fred Frith - The Previous Evening are all simply wonderful. Interestingly, Steve Reich's 6 Marimbas sounds a hell of a lot like Oval - do while. And Fred Frith uses lots of Ovalish distortions on the Previous Evening. --- the humble abbott arthur purvis set his hand hereto
