Spotlight RELAXING Music: Into the Mirror Pool / Ether

You guys look a little stressed. I blame this awful pony haitus and it's lack of episodes. Time for RELAXATION!

Have two instrumental songs, one ambient, one soft orchestral, to chill out to.  Grab a good book,  throw on some headphones, and let the music flow.

Actually on second thought, the mirror pool one might be good with a horror story, so if you aren't in the mood to relax, go get something scary instead!

1.) David Larsen - Ether (MLP Music)
2.) Into the Mirror Pool

Anyway, check it out below the break!

And a translation for those curious, though I'm not sure how accurage Google Translate is here:

“Hasbro Chile charges us conducting a video to present to their customers, which will summarize the activities of the company during 2012.
