I think the existing listenership has changed their set of values to be more open to something as minimal and unadorned as what Mark Fell does - people's listening has gotten more patient and the novelty of maximal digital music (say Richard Devine, Autechre etc) got enough play that the simplicity of Fell became extremely appealing. So what's "forward" or refreshing or whatever about isn't about utilizing new tools that haven't yet existed or making a crazy synthesis of various styles or creating a complete novel music vocabulary but making music that works extremely well in this particular moment.
