If this is "Goddess" it is excellent, especially the jimpster remix. Nice
laid back sound to it.

Both "Pools" and "Deeper" are good, with tracks ranging from deep jazz
housey stuff to mellow piano, bass and drums, to borderline ambient jazz
stuff. Highly recommended. My favorites are the (mostly) beatless piano
and bass stuff.
