Interesting, I've never really considered these two to be minimalist but they do totally fall under the category. Didn't really like the whole album, but the track Stetson's To See More Light is phenomenal.

To jump a little bit more outside of the classical I mentioned in my post, here's Eleh. Super minimal electronic drone. I think it's best listened to extraordinarily loud, being stoned as hell is a plus as well when you're drowning in the alternating rhythms.
