| The
tulips are in full bloom. Kick off your shoes and setup your games to
the soothing sounds of brazilian jazz, latin tangos and relaxing whifs
of low beat synth-pop. When dishing out the tunes, bear in mind to keep the music at safe distance from the brain’s higher functioning facets, lest your guest blow a fuse. Allow the music to float in the background like the fragrant scents of spring wildflowers. Harmony, sweet tunes and gentle shifts in tone are all hallmarks of fine ambient music for social situations and are the spring picks from musiKultur! |

| Bebel Gilberto, Tanto Tempo
Lovely, fragrant and pure, this nouveau bossa nova project quietly entertains the soul. While drawing on her heritage, Bebel paints with contemporary strokes. A positively chic experience when combined with Puerto Rico. |

Air,
Premiers Symptomes
Beautiful, deliciously-downtempo synth-pop instrumental music that works well for an ambient environmental texture. A welcome fresh breeze when brainburning through Reef Encounter. |

Murcof,
Martes
Superbly crafted in every detail, this micro music piece lives in another reality. Precise sine wave busts and electronic blips carefully traverse the vacuumous space along with chorus, piano, strings and other traditional classical instrumentation. Add just a dash of this to your soundscape while playing Twilight Imperium — the universe will never be the same. |

Gotan Project,
La Revancha Del Tango A tangy tango treat with a delightful beat. Carved out of the electronic genre, this very listenable piece breaks free, serving authentic instrumentation set to tango. If you’ve got an analysis paralysis guest while playing Alhambra break the silence with this delight! |
 |
Miles
Davis, Kind of Blue
The definitive jazz album. Perfect in every detail. Its soft, wonderous beauty gently hovers in the background which is perfect for any game setting. Sweet and approachable, use this sedative to calm frayed nerves from tense negotiations in Traders of Genoa. |
 |
Quincy
Jones, Dollar$
Chunky and chunky, the big Q serves up style the ’70s way. Lovely arrangements coupled with zippy Esquivelesque touches and bluesy rifts will get your guests’ toes tappen’ on your earthy shag. Save this for your regular group while choo-chooin’ away on Ticket to Ride. |
 |
Nicola Conte, Bossa Per Due
An electronic instrumental album with an easy background beat. Horns, marimbas and a good deal of bossa nova can at once be atmospheric as well as a shake-your- shoulders experience. Add a bit of Indian spice to some tracks and you’ve got a winner when playing Taj Mahal. |
