What's so good?
By Kyle Suss | July 8th, 2011
Ok, so this week’s Friday Five actually has six songs. I couldn’t help myself — ambient, downtempo electronic music has a direct line to my soul, so it was tough to narrow down my collection to fit such a small playlist. Worry not though, it’s a good one.
Some tracks are new, some are older, but most importantly, all of them are amazing compositions. Forget all of your distractions and relax as each new melody carries your mind further into a state of complete tranquility. I suggest taking some time to listen to these tunes during your everyday activities — it just might give you the extra motivation that you need to stop for a minute and fully appreciate the beautiful world around us.
