    Ambient & Calm / Meditation & Reflection

    This is like... the ultimate in high-class non-offensive music. You can have this going at the hippest highest-class hotel in the world, and it'll feel at home. You can also put in less-classy places to make them feel classier! Like the opium den you built in your garage, or that
