More ambient than new age but does veer dangerously close. The kind of thing that would be on an endless loop at a week yoga retreat.

5 or 6 times a day for 10 years probably two days a week.

Somebody do the math(s) - that's thousands of plays

Thanks. I've got a few Eno albums, but not that one, either.
