A good starter might be Kit Clayton's stuff on Betke's label ~scape. I've 
found it a bit more enduring than eg. Sutekh's 'Periods Make Sense' or that 
'Staedtizism' comp. I still rate Monolake over most others working in this 
vague area. Monolake's 'Gobi The Desert' ep and Robert Henke's 'Floating 
Point' really turn my crank when it comes to creating whole sound 
environments. I like throwing either one on while I'm pottering around the 
house or (on headphones) at work and feeling immersed in a whole sound world.

Oh yeah, Gramm's 'Personal Rock'. There's already been a couple of threads 
of waxing lyrical on this, so I'll leave it alone.

There's also that recent CD on Force Inc by Auch which is techno, and very 
much based around digital artefacts and things like mains hum rather than 
drum machine sounds. Lots of scrapes and clicks cranked up a notch and 
burbling around through off-kilter echoes. I found it really cold and 
unenjoyable, but plenty of people have good things to say about it, so I 
thought it'd be worth mentioning.

More of the same, IMO. The differences are there, and people have pointed 
them out, but I found I had to go searching for them. While I enjoy the 
sound, I had absolutely no compulsion to pick up the album, just cos I felt 
like I already had enough of it to listen to when the mood hit.
