listened to it, by this reckoning i reckon my pounding grooves tunes could be classed as minimal.

Well the early stuff was, by Hoods understanding of minimal, so your right, pounding grooves is minimal in that it had few elements. There is much more use of texture in PG early stuff too, so it actually follows the script of minimalism more closely than hood, probably not intentionally though. Ask Henry, PG was a lot to do with him as well as Lawrie.
