This time it's some moderately paced relaxing tunes with guitar as the lead instrument plus some (mildly) orchestrated versions, one vocal and one koto only track. (it's also an attempt to return HCL.'s recent big favour to the ffshrine community, do check this upload if you haven't already (Thread 113692))
This music was composed for the second Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou OVA, but, if you want to read some relaxing stuff too (for a change xD), I would really recommend the manga itself because it's the original material.
To summarize, some major catastrophe happened, human race is in great decline (referred to as "twilight of humanity") everything is looking more and more like ruins/wasteland etc. with no apparent chance for recovering. Then you have Alpha, a robot who runs a small cafe (yes, a robot) as best as she can with customers arriving oh so rarely (just one customer in two or three days time is considered awesome). I have included one small chapter as an optional download, which kind of shows how an ordinary customer will be treated when he visits again (and this dude comes for a second time, only 10 years in between lol). (note - unlike comics, manga is read from right to left)
