Ambient Nirvana Achieved With Buddha Machine
Daniel Handler’s review in The Believer suggested getting more than one, so I got two, and now want nine. See, this Buddha Machine, created by the musical duo FM3, plays nine different ambient audio loops, which blend nicely if you turn on many silmoutaneously. I plugged one into my stereo speakers and left the other on my desk. Now I want more to hide around the apartment. There are other “praying to Buddha” machines but they use traditional chinese recordings instead. Get the FM3 version here.

i wanna get more of these but they are ’spensive. i got mine (1) for 20 bones. if you see them anywhere for less let us know, m’kay? hope you’re having a seismic aural experience with yours… i mainly sit with it and play with the switches… letting it sit here and there.. then take another toke.

I just got mine today, it’s an ocean blue color. I love it! I kinda thought the same thing about price (16 pounds), but I ordered it Sunday night (it’s Thursday now). Does anyone know if it really has the little buddha statue inside? I’m afraid to open mine.
