Amazon Evening
A full one hour of uninterrupted, continuous music. Soft, warm, ambient and slightly exotic, featuring floating pads, mallets & marimba, ambient wood flute etc. Very varied throughout, with very little repetition.

Because this track is 60 minutes long, the full length version is only available to download as an mp3 file, not as a wav file. However, the mp3 file is of extremely high quality (256 kbps) and can be converted to WAV format without any audible quality loss. Also, if you opt for the delivery on CD, the CD will of course be made from the original uncompressed WAV file. (Please note that the preview of the full length version plays for only 10 minutes, whereas the purchased full length version plays for 60 minutes). [Composer: Bjorn A. Lynne]

A sombre piece of musical imagery, this track has a strong sense of history. Very organic, and evenly paced to make it highly suitable as background music for geography, history, fantasy, travel or mythology related material. Also great for fantasy/RPG games etc. [Composer: Adam Skorupa]

Bonfire in the Desert
An uneasy, moving pad floats underneath tribal drums, later joined by scattered piano drops. Primal, strange, uneasy and slightly dark. Good for documentary or atmospheric backdrop. [Composer: Nery Bauer]   [ This track is also available on: Music collection: Ethnic Ambiences Vol. 1 ]

Drum Elements
A percussive and exotic film soundtrack underscore featuring Taiko drums. Pensive, with a sneaky sense of mystery and perhaps impending danger. Sense of urgency increases throughout. [Composer: Pierre Gerwig Langer]

Evolving Mood
A warm and smooth, sophisticated chillout groove. The rather sparse marimba opening is soon joined by the slowly swaying waves of a downtempo beat, lush strings and swirling pads. Excellent for summer time, holiday, vacation and discovery. [Composer: Dan Gautreau]   [ This track is also available on: Music collection: Chill-Out Vol. 6 ]

Floating
Tastefully melodic instrumental track with a slightly warm and exotic feel. Varied throughout with melodic guitar soloing, piano licks and a friendly, welcoming and soothing tone. As well as providing superb imagery, this is just great music to listen to. Perhaps a journey to a far away, peaceful and exotic place -- whether a physical place or a place within ourselves?

Gone
A medium-tempo, contemplative piece featuring haunting vocals with an Eastern European flavor but also showing a cross-culture influence with a Chinese Erhu, Western acoustic guitar and large percussion. This could represent many things from ancient lost civilizations to futuristic merged societies. [Composer: Matt McLellan]
