There's this release by The Album Leaf called 'In a Safe Place' that I've
found to be...
well, just rather *nice* (yeah, I'm up for a reviewer post at 'The Wire'
;-)), for those moments when I'd rather not have my equanimity put at risk
by creeping melancholics, or pulled down into chthonic depths, or pummelled
by beat breakage. Basically, it won't upset the neighbours or startle the
cat, but it won't insult your intelligence.
It ain't IDM, but has some of the appeal of its more post-rock oriented
practitioners.
Not a Huge Recommendation or anything, it's just a pleasant way to be
accompanied for 50 minutes. Failing that, there's a new Manual release out
in May which might do the trick.
