The Music CD: Buddha Bar Nature gives you 12 tracks that are ethnic new age and middle eastern sounding. Besides track 2 there are not really any songs of spanish descent. Also none of the tracks border on being lounge music like much of the music in the regular Buddha Bar series. This CD reminded me a bit of the eirlier buddha bar's like Vol. 2, before the lounge sound entered the current volumes. What i liked about this CD was that it was very good musically (different instruments, enchanted voices) and did not depend on the bass beat to make the songs interseting (think lounge music.)
The DVD: The music fits very well with the nature scenes. These nature scenes almost always features plenty of animals, particularly from Africa. The timely use of timelap photographing was neat as the viewer can see the unigue movements of animal formations. My fatorite Video and song was "Dance of the Flames" whiched featured iguana's swiming in the ocean, crabs moving allong the beach, clouds moving, and sun rises and sun sets.

I have a habit of just diving in because I am familiar with the rest of a series, or I am maybe just curious, but I did purchase this blindly. I was not disappointed. Every Buddha-Bar I've purchased has been amazing, but this one has quite a feature to it. The CD is enough to enjoy, but you should dive into the DVD. Set to the same music, documentary-like cinematography combined with Arno Elias's well-crafted selection of music makes for one hell of a DVD. I'm no nature buff, but some of the stuff i saw just blew me away. Buy this CD/DVD.

i always listen every cd before to buy, but in this time, i didn't. the music and video are amazing and i listen and i left my thoughts fly, the only thing about the dvd, the sound isn't excellent. i have a little bit of noise when you listen in 5.1 sorround. if you listen buddha bar, you must to see it.

I first watched this video while I was on a soul searching trip to Cancun (it was on a 24-hour loop on one of the hotel TV stations). The music and imagery set the tone for my whole trip. I used it as background music for my meditation. When I returned I bought it so I could continue to use it to support my spiritual journey. When I opened the DVD I was delighted to find that there was also a CD of the music so I can listen to it in my car as well.

Best songs:

El Corazon
Guide Me
Osmyo
New Day
The Dance Of Flames
Epic And Dream

Just wish he'd do more music.

I expected more. The images are lovely, but they seem to be edited in a haphazard way. Some tracks have images that flow, while others seem cut together without any rhyme or reason. I read many reviews before I bought this product all extoling it's virtues, but alas, I cannot agree. These guys need some expert help for their next DVD. PSST...National Public Television has some great shows with fantastic footage gathered from all over the World and it is spliced together with great precision. Even the music is not as good as many of the other Buddha Bar CDs. Too bad, this premise had such promise.

THIS BUDDHA BAR IS GREAT.. MY FAVORITE SONG ARE; NEW DAY; EL CORAZON; GUIDE ME
YOU'LL LOVE IT I'M A FAN OF ARNO ELIAS THE COMPOSER OF THIS ALBUM
