River Fire "River Fire" Instruments: Drums, Hang Drum, Bells, Flute Feel: Calming, Grooving, Mystical This piece has 54 beats each minute. At Angkor Wat, a Hindu temple carving has 54 gods in opposition to 54 demons, and in their struggle they create immortality. Mystics (or mathematicians... whatever) in Ancient Greece knew of the prime factorization of this mystic number. 3 by 3 by 3 by 2. What does this all mean? Not much, as it turns out the concept of a "minute" wasn't familiar to the architects at Angkor Wat.

Spirit of the Girl "Spirit of the Girl" Instruments: Drums, Bells Feel: Calming, Grooving, Mystical There are 54 beads on a Buddhist prayer mala. These are used for counting recitations and chants. There are 54 beats per minute in this song. Coincidence? Sure is. What, you're going through an entire mala cycle in a minute? That's crazy talk! Studies have shown the optimal number of mantras in a single set is somewhere between 15 and 20 anyway... so don't waste your money on the 54 or 108 bead versions. You'll be a lot better doing more sets of less reps. And don't forget leg day. ISRC: USUAN1700057 54 bpm Genre: World Length: 6:53 Download "Spirit of the Girl" as mp3 Get it from iTunes! Listen Now!

Nightdreams "Nightdreams" Instruments: Drums, Hang Drum Feel: Calming, Grooving, Mystical Are you still spending all of your money on shakra therapies that don't seem to work? Look no further - Nightdreams will do everything those therapies do and at a much lower cost! Presence is the truth of well-being. And no one can argue that to be well, one must first exist.

Truth in the Stones "Truth in the Stones" Instruments: Drums, Harp Feel: Calming, Grooving, Mystical New age music. You know what is cool about New Age music? Low ambitions. It wants to do a simple thing, and then does it. No crazy counterpoint. No complicated harmonic structures. Just a simple simple thing. Like if Tetris was all those long blocks. Man, that would be great. ISRC: USUAN1700059 54 bpm Genre: World Length: 6:13 Download "Truth in the Stones" as mp3 Get it from iTunes! Listen Now! Watch the Video on YouTube

The Sky of our Ancestors "The Sky of our Ancestors" Instruments: Drums, Flute Feel: Calming, Grooving, Mystical We reflect, we dream, we are born. We gather together, we smile, we eat potato salads. We remember, we invent, muddle mint for our mojitos. We greet, we listen, we appreciate NetFlix. We collect coins and stamps... for some reason. We mix up the names of our children with the names of our pets. We x-ray baggage... with X-RAYS! Those things are like 200keV! Each! Do you know what that does to people!? Hint: Not good things.

Silver Flame "Silver Flame" Instruments: Marimba, Drums Feel: Calming, Grooving, Mystical Life is the source of mystical potential. Or it isn't. One of the two. If I had to bet... I would probably ask what those words mean. Even 'life' isn't simple. I don't think I could recognize what the first living thing was. It is like making a soup. Hot water? Not soup. Hot water with salt? Not soup. Add a potato? Still not soup. That's just a potato in hot salt water. At some point it becomes soup. Same with life. Bonus fact: Borscht was never soup. It is borscht.

Ever Mindful "Ever Mindful" Instruments: Cellos, Basses, Violas, Violins, Choir, Flutes, Clarinets Feel: Relaxed, Bright, Calming A different kind of relaxing piece with long but detailed harmonic complexity. I personally have a hard time with the drone-type of relaxing music. It doesn't work for me. This one gives your mind something to think about... very very slowly.

Concentration "Concentration" Instruments: Synths, Electric Piano Feel: Calming, Relaxed Imagine yourself floating in a beautiful sky, the aggressive badgers of the land do not bother you here at all. Todd from HR doesn't try to make small talk with you in this place, nor does he try to invite you to his kid's wrestling tournament that is being held at a school 90 minutes away. The coyote-lizards of your night terrors do not roam here, and you can clearly read the expiration dates on all your packages. Even the hand soap. Why does the hand soap have an expiration date? It matters not. ISRC: USUAN1700022 Genre: Soundtrack Length: 29:53 Download "Concentration" as mp3 Listen Now! Watch the Video on YouTube

Port Horizon "Port Horizon" Instruments: Drums, Bass, Vibraphone, Guitar, Trumpet, Trombones, Violins, Other Feel: Calming, Relaxed, Unnerving Welcome to the tropical paradise of Port Horizon. Not much to do here but listen to the short wave radios and play guitar. There is also food and drinks with those little umbrellas... Other than that - not much. Except snorkeling. Snorkeling is pretty cool. Oh, there is also Art Night on Tuesday - where you get a volleyball and some paints and make yourself a friend! Beach chess... I forgot about Beach Chess. Don't play white against Todd, though - he plays all-Hedgehog all the time. Come on, Todd - just once, seriously ONCE could you play King's Indian or... you know what? I'd even take the French Defence; Exchange Variation, you boring symmetrical jerk. ISRC: USUAN1700015 72 bpm Genre: Unclassifiable Length: 5:23 Download "Port Horizon" as mp3 Listen Now!

Bittersweet "Bittersweet" Instruments: Synth, Cello, Piano, Choir Feel: Calming, Relaxed, Somber Ok, I might be crying a little bit. But it is understandable... I went to a party store, and I saw all the colorful balloons with happy sayings on them like "Get Well" and "Feel Better" and "A Hug for You"... I just started thinking how the helium will all be gone one day. Just gone... we won't get it back, and it took millions of years of radioactive decay to get the helium we have now... and... *sniff* we just don't have millions more years to wait for more. They're wasting helium in balloons... how can I possibly "Feel Better"!? ISRC: USUAN1700004 73 bpm Genre: Soundtrack Length: 3:22 Download "Bittersweet" as mp3 Listen Now! Watch the Video on YouTube
