Well, everyone, this is my first attempt at a post to this list. If you
want something that isn't "abrasive", go for Cabaret Voltaire. A lot of
their material, especially some of the later stuff, is quite non-abrasive.
My personal favorite at the time is the "International Language" LP.
Also, Plug's "Drum 'n' Bass for Papa" is quite good, with lots of nice,
laid-back beats. Go for the Nothing records US release with the EP's on
the second disc. Hope this helps!
