Hard Boiled "Hard Boiled" Instruments: Bass, Piano, Drums Feel: Grooving, Mysterious, Relaxed You're looking for the low-down, huh? That's going to take lettuce. You want the dope? the scoop? the skinny? Ten bucks a day plus expenses. No negotiations. I ain't no fourth-rate gumshoe - but a ducky shincracker like you already knew that... Out of curiosity, what's the word for people who overuse slang? ISRC: USUAN1700076 126 bpm Genre: Jazz Length: 3:01 Download "Hard Boiled" as mp3 Get it from iTunes! Listen Now!

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. Before you start listening to this piece, make certain that you exist. No one needs another one of those 'tree-falling paradoxes' messing up their lives... or their forests.

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.

Unholy Knight "Unholy Knight" Instruments: Organ, Percussion, Choir, Violins, Violas, Cellos, Basses, Trumpets, Trombones, Tuba, French Horns, Cimbasso, Clarinets, Flutes, Oboes Feel: Action, Bouncy, Mystical Oh geez, there's lots of notes in this one. The end of this piece is just woodwinds by themselves, and they are super cool. So often the percussion just takes over these pieces, even though there are some beautiful parts that get attention directed away from them.

Return of the Mummy "Return of the Mummy" Instruments: Tar, Qanun, Choir, Percussion, Strings Feel: Dark, Grooving, Mystical Did you know that people in the 1800s used to make tea out of mummies they dug up in Egypt? Tea. Like the kind you drink. That is because people in the 1800s were dumb. They were so stupid, they thought seaweed was really quite interesting. Today, you would have to be a marine botanist to think seaweed is that exciting. I don't need to mention how "exciting" marine botanists are... Carl! Finding some Caulerpa 20 kilometers outside its published range is no reason to write a paper! And it is certainly no reason to be LATE for your OWN PARTY, CARL!!!

Sunday Dub "Sunday Dub" Instruments: Guitar, Drums, Bass, Organ Feel: Grooving, Relaxed, Mysterious This was written for a sneaky-yet-cool scene. The kind where our main character is trailing a subject to find out where they get the amazing cheese they serve at their restaurant. There's a bunch of bits where the paranoid restauranteur turns around unexpectedly and Private Detective Alice Winterbottom has to duck behind dumpsters, or spin around casually pretending to be on a phone call, or hide behind a watermelon at the fruit stand.
