I really hated minimal back in the days when it started to come out of the closet (I guess you remember that ) but it really sounded different than the stuff from today. There are some minimalistic tracks that I don't get but there is so much melodic and even psychedelic sounding stuff that it made me feel like a vinyl-virgin again after checking out those tracks.
I don't mind slow tracks and as I've said I'll look for your old thread and check out the tracks. Btw. do you know any of those vinyls, they were my last order:
Guy Gerber & Shlomi Aber - Sea Of Sand
http://www.discogs.com/release/790262
Dominik Eulberg - Bionik
http://www.discogs.com/release/827545
Marc Romboy vs. Stephan Bodzin - Atlas / Hyperion
http://www.discogs.com/release/740165
Stephan Bodzin - Valentine
http://www.discogs.com/release/759123
Extrawelt - Titelheld
http://www.discogs.com/release/688344
Oxia - Speicher 34

I especialy like the Guy Gerber & Shlomi Aber track, very melodic but in a hypnotic way. Another bunch of vinyls is supposed to arrive today or on Monday, can't wait to get them. Nemo said this if I remember right and he is quite right: minimal is the new trance!
