    A great remaster but also a sad reminder why I really only ever went back to the second disc, and often.

      "The Healing Place" ---> the best of the instrumental tracks on here and the one track I keep going back to often. One of those rare ambient pieces that you can put on repeat for hours long. Just perfect.
