Here’s the final installment of the top 2006 list with some more good songs.

Here’s the second part of the list, this time a little bit more with folk and avantgarde influences.

Pierre bastien - Deuxieme Teleconcert Moderato

Another diverse minimal musician is Mexico’s Fax. I don’t know why the Latin American’s do it better than the Europeans, but their music seems to be more fresh than their European counterparts’ for the last 2 years. His latest CD has been released on Static Discos last month and it’s a good mixture of [...]
