Things has been a tetch on the hectic side here in the city and I seek respite with a short post and the sweet sounds of gentle music. Here's three tracks by three artists who all seek the path of least resistance; songs for evening the keel and drawing in clean unobstructed breath calm blue ocean calm blue ocean ommmmmmmm
We'll go back to our regularly scheduled postings tomorrow with a collection from three cornerstones of modern electronic.
