I love ambient music, the average listener may find it simple but for me, the minimalism in its structures allows the sound design and synthesis programming to sine through. Something I am personally invested in with my own music.

Steve Hauschildt has created a great new album with Strands that skirts around the different genre of Minimalist electronica. From more arpeggiated minimal techno style to the warm pads of ambient and in doing so has provided a great example of the current state of minimalist music as a whole. On Time We Have a lush pad and bass melody slowly expands and finally gets mixed with distortion to create a piece that demonstrates many of my favorite elements of the genre without loosing its own identity.
