5.0 out of 5 stars
University of Diversity, April 1, 2006
This review is from: Madagascar: Fragile Land (Audio CD)
Madagascar is a reservoir of biodiversity, having split off from the African continent some 160 million years ago. 80% of its plants and animals are unique to Madagascar. It was one of the last places on earth to be settled by humans (7th C. CE).
All this results in the two long (30-min.) jungle recordings captured here, which are as wild and primeval as any place on earth -- or any place in time. Unlike most of Quin's other recordings this one apparently is natural sounds only, with no added music or extensive editing. If it *is* edited, it was done in such a way as to not be obvious. The continuous lush jungle soundscapes immerse the listener in another time and place as far away from civilisation as you can possibly imagine.
