Chill instrumentals- the beats get groovy so it ain’t ambient. Remixes of Japanese new-age wiz Kitaro. Classy.

1.fades in from silence- first 10 secs nearly inaudible. Quiet bells, some violin and a theremin-like synth, midtempo beats.
+2.Quiet distorted electric piano(?) sample, then beat w/Jamaican feel
3.lush hits, background beats
+4.long intro w/sitar and “aaahs”, then the beats + gated shimmer
5.Pentatonic theramin, hip-hop beats. A novelty track.
+6.Springtime in Japan
+7.slow hip-hop beat, minor key
8.experimental beginning, then it’s like a TV crime drama soundtrack
+9.Nice drum loop- and not much music! ‘til halfway through, then it’s light
10.long quiet (for 30 secs) intro sounding mysterious, beats fade in after about a minute, get thick and disappear again for a bit, some sakuhachi
11.Pretty soundtrack style music, amateur hip=hop sound
+12.very ambient intro, then odd piano chords & undanceable beat
