album leaf is a member of the band tristeza. their album 'spine and
sensory' is an all time favorite of mine. all the peoples that dig
album leaf should check out that album. i've listened to a lot of album
leaf, and it gets old rather fast...but 'spine and sensory'keepsl
bringing the mosh (in a mellow-summer-y way :)

Subject: Re: [idm] Here comes the summer...
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.
