I’d hope you’ll notice a distinct change in the music – an instrumental, electronic, new-age piece that is always good listening for me for a chillout track. As for the name, we can only presume he refers to the 
Time today for a much more relaxing new age, classical piece of music – and I couldn’t think of any better than Danny Wright’s “Spellbound”. It’s a track that really strikes me and lets me chill out. Since starting out in 1986, he has sold an amazing four million albums, and been awarded several awards for his music. Hopefully this track will strike a chord with you as much as it does with me.
