i only have "grapes from the estate" and i really like it... most of the time it feels like there is not much happening - just a few sustained notes (guitar notes, although they often do not sound like guitars because of the way they are processed), repetitive patterns, a few crackling or skipping sounds, maybe some slight noise in the background, sometimes a little percussion - but it sounds lovely... it's ambient, but occasionally there is a definite clear melody and he builds on that... if you find a site that has sound excerpts from the album, you could have a good idea of whether you would like it or not.
i was planning to get "triste" next... or another one, if someone gives on this thread recommendations...
(his music is comparable in many ways to the music of fennesz - and as far as i can tell, to rafael toral's and keith fullerton whitman's, which i am much less familiar with - but at the same time definitely different, i think, he has a distinct sound. then again, i only know one record by him)
