recently got into a japanese downbeat artist known as "jemapur" hes pretty awesome, his first album "dok springs" is very laid back, with some clear minamilist influences. The sheer variety is amazing, one minute your listening to a minimalist tempo shifting piece like "bird sanctuary", the next you listening to the fast, choppy, hip hop terror "off the wall". The album is a little hard to find, as jemapur isn't very well known, but its an absolute gem :).
His second album "evacuation" is a contrast to his original work, with step away from jazzy melodys, into the deep end of electronica, this album is not for the faint hearted, some of the songs on there with no melody, and practically 5 minutes of the same thing. But don't get me wrong, it still is fantastic, just a little less commercial :)
