5.0 out of 5 stars clear, beautiful and relaxing sounds of nature, October 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Echoes of Nature: Morning Songbirds (Audio CD)

This disc contains seven tracks of natural sounds of the wild for a total of 46 minutes of delicate listening. The only non-bird sounds are surf, rain, wind and a babbling stream. The recordings are remarkably clear. I bought this to soothe my children at naptime and bedtime---and it works! They request it now. If you're looking for pure nature sounds, I can recommend the Echoes of Nature series.

3.0 out of 5 stars Uneven in places, January 27, 2003

This review is from: Echoes of Nature: Morning Songbirds (Audio CD)

I bought this CD as background for meditation. I have many positive things to say about it. The birdsong and water sounds are relaxing. Because there are discreet timed tracks, it gives you the option to select a track for the time you want to meditate, and then you know when to come out as the track ends.

However, the sound quality is uneven, and as a result is not natural sounding. For instance, the first track opens with pounding surf and no birds. Then the surf sound fades to nothing and the bird song is brought up. So it sounds very managed instead of being natural.

Also, the "ocean birds" sound pretty strange to me. Not what I am used to. Maybe pacific ocean birds sound different to the Atlantic ones I am used to , but I doubt it.

One of the tracks has a waterfall that sounds a bit bathwater-ish and the rainfall sounds a bit like static hiss at the beginning.

But despite the mixed quality it is a relaxing set of recordings. And it's hard to go wrong at this price.

You can't get much better than this... I played this at home, and my dad thought I had a window open. The different tracks blend together very well; you won't notice the transitions. It's very soothing, except for the occasional woodpecker, which I found very charming.
