Advantages: Helps relax and unwind.....
Disadvantages: May already own a lot of the songs.....

One of my old favs....subtle saxaphone, with a beat, slowly building.... Has an underwater sound to it, perfect for relaxing to. And again, I already have this tune on a Leftfield album I own. 6 ~ Talking With Myself '98(Canny Remix) ~ Electribe 101 Starts with waves breaking on a beach, so instantly relaxing....

Quite often, there is also singing, either in English or, more traditionally, Celtic/Gailic. For this reason, I like to think Celtic music as a combination... Read review
