''Long Ambients 2'' is the follow-up to '' Long Ambients 1: Calm. Sleep.'' (2016) and offers more than 200 minutes of ambient music to put a listener to sleep or to meditate. Moby had struggled to find music that helped him sleep better, so he decided to compose some himself. He intended the music to also help people calm down, reduce anxiety, and aid in their own sleep issues. "LA15" is an extended version/remix of "LA8" from ''Long Ambients 1'', while "LA16" is an extended version of "LA10". The other four pieces are entirely new to this album.
