I would also recommend Plat's Compulsion on Unschooled. Apparently they are
from Iceland and therefore sound magical by default ;-o)
Joking apart this really is lush and engaging music as Jeff says.
They released a 12" on Dutch label Prospect Records in 2003 which was top
quality. This also contained quite a nice Funckarma remix, although not
much different or better than the original as it used the same guitar and
bass parts. All the tracks from the 12" (apart from the Funckarma remix)
are on this CD release.
You can hear the Funckarma remix on Boomkat which gives a good idea
of Plat's sound:

Also a few of the 12" tracks can be previewed on Smallfish

Also there are sound clips on the Unschooled label

Enjoy IDMers :-o))

Subject: Plat : Compulsion
I found this review on the web which seems pretty spot-on thus far (I'm skipping through this via nice set of Grado SR60s in my PC tower at work [thanks, David!] ). Very nice - should appeal to anyone who likes their ambience folded with idm. Some jazzy sections, but nothing overpowering or which should discourage investigation. Althogether deep, lush stuff. Put it on your list of things to look into.
