Try these, some of which have been recommended before i see:
If you only get one, make sure its Spirit of Eden by Talk Talk. Fifth one down is "In the wake of Poseidon" by King CrimsonI want to share something with you: The three little sentences that will get you through life. Number 1: Cover for me. Number 2: Oh, good idea, Boss! Number 3: It was like that when I got here.

I recommend almost everything I have, but for an alien, probably modern naff digi-pop would be representative of our musical culture.
