I saw this video over on Gizmodo last night.

They have apparently created the most relaxing song in the world, more capable even than massage therapy at reducing stress. I put on the headphones last night and got in to bed to listen to the entire piece and I’m not entirely convinced. It was nice, but not really in the same way. As someone who used to receive massages on a fairly regular basis back in the salad days when I made money, I’d say the massages win hands down. Of course, maybe it’s the difference between 50 minutes on the table versus 8 minutes in the headphones. You could wear the phones on the train or at work and perhaps get some benefit at multiple intervals, but I dunno. My masseuse was/is damn good. I miss it very much.

I did pick up two of their albums at the Amazon MP3 Emporium this morning though for $10, so marketing mission accomplished.
