For Beginner Piano is the debut studio album by British electronic band Plone. It was released on Warp in 1999.
Critical reception
John Bush of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, calling it "an enjoyable album, especially for those interested in the history of the synthesizer and tape music ('60s pioneers Perrey & Kingsley are probably the best reference point)." Tim Perry of The Independent said, "Plone mix warm electronica with a global sensibility." Ryan Schreiber of Pitchfork gave the album a 5.4 out of 10, saying: "Like so many songs being sold to hip marketing campaigns these days, you can listen to any of For Beginner Piano's ten tracks for hours without ever noticing they're there."
