Here's a good quote from the <a href="http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/f/fm3/buddha-machine.shtml">Pitchfork article</a> that I forgot to include in the post: <blockquote>And best of all, the music never stops. Sure, you can listen to a minimalist CD and imagine how it would feel to hear it for days on end, but the Buddha Machine lets you try it: There's no 80-minute limit, and the batteries will go for hours. Psychologically, it makes a big difference when you aren't waiting for the music to fade out.</blockquote> Yeah, it would definitely only work with these really short ambient pieces (I read somewhere that the tracks vary in length from 2 seconds to only 45 seconds).

I really like the concept though and the music sounds interesting too! I might need to invest...
