Hiroshi Yoshimura - Soundscape 1: Surround (1986)

Complete aural tranquility courtesy of ambient great Hiroshi Yoshimura. My views regarding the last presidential election are well-documented and unchanged, so no real need to rehash them. But everyone, especially my fellow Americans -- even the ones who embrace a kind of cruelty and willful ignorance that I still can't fully comprehend -- could probably benefit from some beautiful ambient music and, like, a few long, deep breaths.
