Various Artists – [2010] Breathe 05

Having “recently” reviewed Spirare (or Breathe 18), the final entry in the series, it was just fair to revisit an earlier instalment of this successful series. It unites ambient electronica with acoustic folktronica and even more exotic tracks. A nice compilation for a relaxed and sophisticated backdrop.
