"Liturgical Music for Relaxation"

Huh?
Not that I haven't snoozed through a homily or two or three, and not that some worthy liturgical music (include the very pinnacle of liturgical musical expression, )can't be very soothing, but I think marketing "some of the most popular liturgical music of our time" as an easy-listenin' backdrop to whatever it is you do to relax, may betray a misapprehension of what the term "liturgical music" actually means.

Which explains a lot.
