As for the musical definition, I'm not shure. As Jack said, the track is somewhat of an oxymoron. It's got minimalistic arrangements and minimalistic sounds from that era but it's a very epic track at the same time.
As for minimal techno in general, it's a weird thing to define. One might argue that techno is minimalistic by design and thus the term minimal techno is redundant. I mean, if this track came out today I would probably call it just techno. It's more of a label because that's what it was called around the time it came out.
Emo starwars. Pretty sure I see young Anakin in there.

I went to a concert for classical music on boxing day and saw Hawtin with his family. I'm pretty sure he wore 1500$ Rick Owens' sneakers. I was jealous.
