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!
