3.0 out of 5 stars enhanced with guitar..., November 13, 2005

By 

Ida MohdNoor - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nature Sampler (Audio CD)

It's ok if the guitar is playing in the background, but the guitar is not. It is playing in the foreground. So I can barely hear the nature sounds. Can't enjoy the nature sounds. I do enjoy the guitar though.

If you like nature sounds with music on, you may like this Sampler. Includes 9 tracks, about 5 to 10 minutes each. The price is quite a bargain too.

If I was looking for guitar CD, I would choose this one. The music is soothing and relaxing. However, I was expecting nature sounds ONLY when I ordered this sampler CD. Because of the guitar it gets only 3 stars. I heard Echoes of Nature's Sampler is not enhanced with music whatsoever. And the price is just nice.

Don't you wish all environmental sound CDs come with bold and clear descriptions that say, "Enhanced with music" or "Nature sounds ONLY"(that is, NOT enhanced with music)? That may spare us from unwanted spending and frustration. Guess thats what reviews are for.

Thank you.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Music Of Nature, December 2, 2008

This review is from: Nature Sampler (Audio CD)

This is basically a music CD, with guitar pieces composed & performed by Macheis Wind. Each piece reflects the different nature sounds, often echoing back the tones of each sound vignette. We bought this CD just to have Wind's performances. Macheis Wind is an artist and activist, and an award winning child advocate who has created a great body of music and song for use in guidance and prevention therapy. His nonprofit organization is Guitar Tree - you can read about the website at www.guitartree.org. By good chance we watched him perform at the 2005 New Jersey Festival of Ballooning, and were so taken by his personality and artistic abilities that we started hunting for recordings. This "Nature Sampler" CD was a happy find. It is a set of soothing, harmonious, and at times thrilling, musical vignettes punctuated by precious natural sounds which most of us never hear first-hand.
