Speaking of "copycat" artists and staying on topic with this thread, I kinda feel Brothomstates album Claro is an IDM classic and oft overlooked, despite getting released on Warp.
The closer, Viimo is seriously all time imho. Big Cichli vibes, but much more accessible and catchy.

Correction! It's "Between Gaps". Damn, I think I've been adding the "the" in there since I first heard it 25 years ago

That said, because of you I went a bit in a Merck hole. Lot of stuff I overlooked on that label and will happily visit in the coming weeks, so thanks!

Also - apparently one of my favorite "lush" electronic albums of all time, Kettel and Secede's glorious When Can, got a remaster release in May with 2 extra tracks! The remaster is actually really lovely, and sounds quite a bit clearer and crisper. Both are Merck vets iirc

Listening to the Brothomstates album "Claro" now, haven't listened or even thought about this in years. I own it on CD, one of the few albums I bought after only hearing a couple of tracks at the record store while browsing, what a cool discovery that was

really like this Deep Ark mix but I enjoy it most when I hear something new (like whatever's playing at 4 hours 43 minutes)
