see, i think villalobos, sender, cytrax, perlon etc when i think minimal, but that has such a large connection to house, prob enough to scare most techno fans away.
it seems here that most people think of the darker industrial edge as minimal. two lone swordsmen did do some nice minimal techno, yet very instrumental stuff (stockwell steppas, nice!!) but since have obviously changed course quite a bit.
some more minimal for those who might not be aware::
geoff white
background records
chain reaction
stewart walker
dan bell
akufen
luciano
cabanne
ark
i think some of us will agree with this, others may question our definitions of minimal. but it all fits anyway :-)
