Hsam, you and I are obviously of very similar tastes... All of the Kompakt CDs, basically, make for excellent listening in that Gas-sy way: deep loops, lots of grit and shuffle, oodles of depth. While many Kompakt 12s tread closer to Wolfgang's polka-march-techno territory (not so much my thing), the CDs are almost uniformly blissful. Dettinger's is essential; Popambient 2001 is essential; Jonas Bering's quite lovely as well.
Don't forget Process, either, with releases on Traum and -- I want to say -- Output? Deep and shuffly and wonderful. His live show is fantastic.
And Gustavo Lamas really deserves more mention around these parts than he gets... his 12s and CD are both excellent variations on the general theme of gritty ambiance, and his current work -- as yet unreleased, but hopefully it will see the light of day soon -- shows an increasing sophistication and nuance, all within the same framework.
Finally, Stephan Mathieu's new FrequencyLib on Ritornell, while more sample-based and less lush than Voigt's or any of the aforementioned, still fits into the suspended-animation model that the others use. His "Wurmloch Variationenen" is still probably one of my favorite electronic albums ever, and FrequencyLib is still growing on me daily, like ivy. Discover if you haven't yet.
Cheers,
Philip
