Anybody give this a listen yet? Hopefully I can find a hard copy to purchase this week. I wouldn't mind hearing thoughts from people who have listened to this album.
And to be honest, I'd even hesitate to call that proper minimal as far as the initial conceptual art movement known as minimalism is concerned - but likely the closest thing you'll find to it in the world of EDM.
It's also probably fair to note that the bulk (if not all) of what the folks at Beatport decide to label "minimal", isn't.

Well, first we can start with the classic example John Cage 4'33".
But beyond that, it isn't about being an "electronic expert", it's about understanding what conceptual minimalism was/is in the first place, and how that concept doesn't really apply to what most people refer to as minimal when it comes to electronic music.
And you don't have to be an expert to learn about it, as a matter of fact any asshole or idiot is welcome to use the search function on Wikipedia to at least find a jumping off point for learning about just about anything.
