5.0 out of 5 stars NOT A SLEEP AID!, May 21, 2007

The sound quality of this CD is extraordinary and I highly recommend it for everything except relaxation and/or lulling yourself to sleep! I turned lights off, CD on, and started to drift off to really beautiful and clear as a bell bird calls; even the hyena calls in the distance were pleasant. Then the growling started right, it seemed, at the foot of my bed, and worked itself up into a terrific series of roars. This, at least for a primate, is not relaxing. After a while, the lion faded away and the birds came back, followed by something - leopard? - growling and snarling in a low, sneaky "I really AM in your bedroom" sort of way. At the point where the leopard started dismantling some formerly living thing, I got up, turned off the CD, checked under the bed, and went to sleep under my own power. So, do buy and listen to this for atmosphere; the quality is fantastic and the variety of calls, etc., is really good. But don't expect it to lull you to sleep.

5.0 out of 5 stars She wanted it PERFECT!, August 16, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Sounds of Earth: Into Africa (Audio CD)

I am the dining room manager of a private country club and one of the ladies golf groups was having a guest day with an African Safari theme. The woman in charge was very nervous and needed everything PERFECT! She mentioned she wanted some "soundeffects" playing in the background and I told her I could find something. I didn't know I'd find something that fit her thoughts "to a tee!". The party was a success and many people mentioned the CD and asked where I found it. I never thought I'd find anything without music behind it but I'm keeping this series in mind for events to come. The warthogs were my favorite!

This was exactly what i was looking for!! An hours worth of pure african sounds of the bush! No music, no interruptions, just lovely typical african sounds of the wild.
