This may be a little off topic but, here's the only 'minimal' techno that I've ever liked. To me, this shit is like a mixture of film scores and hard techno. It's got that clicky minimal sound to it and the hard kicks and grooves of the harder stuff. Pascal is my ****ing idol. I wish Skoog (and other hard techno artist going to minimal route) would make shit like this. This is the style that I'm pushing my own productions in the direction of. I'm not sure it's considered minimal but, it's definitely not... maximal...? :\
