Everybody loves free stuff. So, here it is - a 16 minute downloadable MP3 track of ambient lounge goodness for your iPodding pleasure - complete with graphic art. No muss, no fuss, no neo nazi DRM restrictions.

That’s why Rideout has included album art. For those of a certain age, it’s easier than programming your VCR or cleaning a diesel spill offa yer garage floor.
