I'll admit that when I first saw this album I was skeptical. After all, I had bought another "loon call" tape only to be disappointed by it. It was NOT very relaxing--the one time that I did use it to help me sleep I was disturbed by some intense music pieces.

After looking into 'Land of the Loon', and listening to a few sound pieces I decided that it would at least be worth listening to in its entirety. What an understatement! I listen to this album all of the time due to its very soothing and magically soothing effects on my stress.

What I find especially nice about this album is that I can picture myself sitting in some northern wood, breathing in all of the splendid scenery...and possibly painting too. There are several tracks where I think to myself: now that scene would be nice to paint onto canvas.

Simply said: this divine piece of music and natural sounds woven together seamlessly will inspire you artistically--to be creative and enjoy nature more. Now this album is one that I can fall asleep to--there aren't ANY clashing sounds or intense musical numbers. That makes this album a lifelong companion...and a wonderful peek into the land of the loon.

If you are a mountain/lake person like me, you will absolutely love this cd. I heard it while visiting a store in the Adirondack north country, and it literally brought me to tears. Now that I'm home, I love to listen to it. To me, it perfectly captures the mood of the place I love- truly a moving, awesome piece of work. If you're a busy person and need to get "away" from it all for a while, get this cd. You WILL relax and be brought back to what's really important in life.

I am a 13 years old and writing this review on my parents account.

This is a spectacular, soothing CD. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys "earth sounds."

The first track starts and ends with a harmony of bird calls;and the loon, goose and other various bird calls sprinkle the rest of the beautifully composed tracks on this CD.

This CD is perfect for having on in the background while you read, because the music flows gently and does not distract you as you read. I find I read more smoothly, and quickly- yet still retaining what I read, while listening to this CD. I also draw and knit with it on.

This is definitely a CD to purchase!!

HEH

Of three Dan Gibson CD's that I have, this is decidedly my favorite. The music is peaceful and soothing without being insipid. The nature sounds are effectively incorporated into the music, not too loud and not overwhelming, but appropriately balanced. I used several tracks as the soundtrack for a slide show I made of Canadian trips, and they really enhance the visual experience. I often play this CD when working because it's enjoyable without interfering.

I'm a bit disappointed with this CD only because there are not enough loon calls for my taste. There are other sounds of nature, which is great, but not the reason I bought this CD. Also, there is the always present music in the background. I have CDs that are purely frog sounds, thunderstorms, etc. without anything else. When my brother and I were in Canada and sat on the dock at a lake at night, all we heard were loons -- no music. Why not a CD of loon calls with nothing else on it?

Awesome! Truly beautiful. The guitar music and the flutes blend in a very beautiful way with the singing of the Loons. Loved it!

Took my new CD to my massage yesterday. How perfectly relaxing my hour was! I felt like I was in Minnesota.........

I first bought this CD when I visited MN for the first time in 1998.......my visit there was permanently indelible in my soul, and this CD captures the unique and beautiful intensity of what MN is known for....its NATURAL beauty and reflections of the nature sounds of the lakes and loons..........It is SO mesmerizing, that the last song,"Land of the Loon" can lead a poet to the page, and in turn, I wrote a piece that was truly inspiring!!

I have looked all over for the Perfect nature sounds and music CD and I believe I have found it! The nature souds are incredibly real (and non-looped) and the music is perfectly partnered. I love it!

This meditation CD is another of Dan Gibson classic. If you are looking for "time away" from the daily stress of life and enjoy hearing natures sounds, this CD will be a favorite.
