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!
