Hell Of Minimal
Gryff:
William Basinski's Disintegration Loops are pretty amazing. Here's the Stylus review, but long story short: Basinski originally recorded a bunch of loops in the '80s, but 20 years later when he went to transfer his tapes to hard disk, they started disintegrating as he recorded them. The result are these amazing ambient loops of slowly decaying music -- it's quite remarkable.
timehat:
I greatly enjoy Reich as well as a bit of Glass, Riley, and Adams.

La Cremes avatar says all I need to know :) thats a kick ass avant garde hiphop album, Dose one reigns supreme!
I've been really into drone and ambient again (I cycle like every 4 months or so)
recently I've dug on Belong who do a Fennesz like guitar drone but more warm and MBV like and Auburn Lull is amazing space rocky stuff like Stars of the Lid
anything on Mille PLateaux is HIGHLY recommended by me especially Kid606 "PS I love you" and Tim Heckers stuff and Shuttle 358 which are all in the ambient microhouse canon all very mellow and tasty. A lot falls into Musique Concrete/found sounds ambience (Shuttle 358).
Aphexs Ambient Works 2 is highly on the playlist lately.
Cult of Luna first album always gets much love especially track 2 (Hallowed) they;re swedish punish your ears slow metal and very very awesome.
OKie doke now I need to look at recommendations by other folk <3s to drone
El Opium:
Drone artists I reccomend:
Birchville Cat Motel (my fave), Skullflower, Ashtray Navigations, Vibracathedral Orchestra, Burning Star Core, Hive Mind
Electronic Stuff:
Tim Hecker-Nice chilly laptop stuff, Tim Hecker, Seht
I also second the Arvo Part reccomendation.
La Creme:
Skullflower are drone now?
A lot of the stuff you guys are describing as sludge or drone is really just doom metal. It has to be really goddam slow and simple and crushy to be drone and even more minimaximal than that to be sludge.
PS. tommydski please please, I need "Summing The Approach" pretty bad. I've heard some damn good things. AIM me or some shit, I'll send something good in return.
PSPS. Hey salada, yes, Autechre + Hafler Trio is hell sorts of excellent.
PSPSPS. Gryff, if you like the disintegration loops shit, it is pretty much something you need to do right now to get as much of Nurse With Wound's "Shipwreck Radio" as you possibly can. There's a whole lot of it so it shouldn't be too hard to find at least a little. It's basically just tape loop madness all recorded on a boat in the arctic circle using random, captured radio signals and natural reverb and stuff off of ice flows and it's really really really fuckin good.
