Covered 600 episodes ago, yet again by Vocala and sounding a lot like the soundtrack from Bladerunner. Two beautifully relaxing mood music skills today; the first with over an hour of ambient audio on which to all but physically float away and the second around 30 minutes. Only the whalesong (episode 822) was more relaxing methinks.
