Sneeuwland by Oskar Schuster

Aurgasm: "The sound of Berlin-based composer Oskar Schuster is probably best described as dreamy escapism. His delicate piano, Parisian accordion, tender glockenspiel and music box create a perfect late-night soundtrack." I can think of no more perfect way to describe what you'll get with Sneeuwland.
