I picked up the latest Rosy Parlane CD on Sigma Editions this week. Sigma Ed. being the ones who released the first Vladislav Delay CD, 'Ele', and are generally the most consistent label I've heard for that kind of slowly evolving beatless minimal stuff with a touch of noise in the mix.
Anyway, this one is a particularly good listen. I'm crap at describing this kind of music in a way that would allow you to distinguish it from many others, but it certainly has its own sound. Little chirpy burbly sounds like that Robert Henke CD 'Floating Point', but often decaying into tiny discrete crackles... but then one track starts with what sounds like reversed guitars and just slowly builds into a huge distorted wall of noise over about 8 minutes.
The Fennesz and Rosy Parlane live CD on Synaesthesia is also beautiful if there are Fennesz fans who haven't heard that. Just two tracks, and probably all the better for it. I'm quite digging the "bite size" feel of 3" CDs.
This is probably not a classic IDM pick, but hey, we talk about Oval don't we? Anyway...
