5.0 out of 5 stars Fine recordings of classic whale songs, September 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Songs of the Humpback Whale (Audio CD)

I bought this recording after I heard Paul Winter's "Whales Alive" CD that included whale songs used in the movie Star Trek IV. "Songs of the Humpback Whale" is amazing because the sounds of the whales are amazing. Some of the tracks have a lot of deep bass noises. All of the whale songs are complex and varied. The liner notes are well written and explain some of the sounds the recording captured besides whale song. This is a good recording of songs from the largest creatures on earth. There is another release of Roger Payne's whale recordings called "Deep Voices" which is also very good. "A portion of the royalties will be shared with the Wildlife Conservation Society to benefit the work of the Whale Conservation Institute."

5.0 out of 5 stars Some of the best whale song ever captured, November 30, 2000

I recently purchased a number of whale song CDs including this one, and found this particular recording to far outshine any of the others I picked up. The clarity and vibrance of the audio surpasses the usual, under-water tone, that sort of murky quality the sound seems to have.

Beyond the sound quality though is some of the more amazing music ever captured. Whales change ther songs each season, and this particular snapshot captures the haunting beauty that will never be heard under the waves again.

3.0 out of 5 stars Where are the Whales?, June 3, 2001

This review is from: Songs of the Humpback Whale (Audio CD)

Although this CD is soothing, it seems to lack the ability to capture the depth of the Humpback Whale. Good background music, but not haunting as some I have heard.
