Why it's here

Melodic IDM's high point; Warp's most humane record of the decade

Rest Proof Clockwork leads with tunes. Plaid hold on to the rhythmic intelligence of IDM and strip away much of its defensive chill, so melody and gentle feeling sit in the foreground while the complexity stops asking to be admired first.
