The Field mixes easily accessibly Kompakt-style Techno with not-quite-Trance-y ambient music, and given the way dance music has made a bit of a comeback in indie circles, it isn't really surprising that The Field would get so much love. Besides, Schnauss is pretty critically acclaimed himself.
I heard Stafraenn Hakon's album a while back, but I guess I didn't think that much of it because I never really listened to him again.
EDIT: Also I should point out that Trance has been making a comeback in general recently. All this "rave revival" stuff recalling the early 90s Franfkurt scene and labels like Kompakt, Dial, etc. jumping on the Neo-Trance bandwagon it also kind of explains why The Field, Gui Boratto, etc. got really popular recently.
