As well as the "Chiff-Chaffs & Willow Warblers" CD, Minotaur Shock has 3
EPs out on Melodic. Not sure how well-available they are now, but
they're great too! If you like Four Tet, there's plenty of comparisons
to make...
It's about the tone I suppose. Very much idm-inspired beats (think a bit
of Aphex, bit of Luke Vibert, etc), and sound sources from acoustic
guitar, organic-sounding keys, found-sound etc.
I second Lance's recommendation of Melodic's "a room full of tuneful"
comp too, and I don't really know the other artists. Lucky Pierre has
some association with Arab Strap. Empire State did a remix on the third
Minotaur Shock EP (also featuring an Isan remix and two others). Chessie
is quite well-known from Drop Beat days and has a recent album on Plug
Research.
Lance as usual is the man with the facts ;)
Cheers,
P
