imo best non-IDM :-) album in 1997. is :
Susanne Brokesch "Sharing the Sunhat" (Disko B)
Great piece of work, really recommended...
Minimal 313 stylee, it's quiet in sahko/puu vein.
This is her debut full length CD/2LP.
I also recommend the rest of her exellent output :
sil "whitecloud ep" cheap 12" 1995
sil electronics "tal-s ep" sahko 12" 1995
susanne brokesch "electronic instrumental music from vienna"
santaktik 7" 1997
Does anyone know what else did she release ? (Lance ?)
bye
