Review

"Soundscapes of Dinosaurs" is tantalizingly real and sets your imagination on fire. "Soundscapes" invites you to step back in time." --Paleontologist, Paul Sereno

Product Description

Travel back to the Mesozoic Era where the sounds of dinosaurs resonate through 150 million years of natural history. Experience the action of dinosaurs’ swift movements, friendly encounters, fierce conflicts and strange vocalizations. Follow ferocious predators at close range, hear the seismic footsteps of giant plant eaters, and witness the birth of dinosaur hatchlings. Then head skyward to fly with graceful pterosaurs and plunge into the sea to swim with marine reptiles. Featuring species from around the world, Soundscapes of the Dinosaurs portrays Mesozoic creatures as dynamic, social animals interacting in complex habitats and ecosystems.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Magical Auditory Journey to the Mesozoic Era!!, March 31, 2002

Dinosaur enthusiasts, fans of nature/music CDs or anyone simply in search of a strange and wonderful auditory journey to a time we can only imagine must buy this CD. Without narration and merged seamlessly with lovely, original "nature CD" musical themes, the sound effects are completely believable and wonderfully executed. The calls of a herd of Jurassic sauropods foraging through a stand of primeval conifers are haunting, as are the sound images of an ancient thunderstorm upsetting the residents of a Mesozoic forest. The fury an allosaur attacking it's next meal is almost frightening, while the calls of ancient pterosaurs riding the winds of Jurassic Texas capture the mind's eye. If you enjoyed the BBC's "Walking With Dinosaurs" or are simply captivated by the idea that our planet once belonged to these wonderful creatures, you must order this CD.

Nothing quite says relaxation than Soundscapes of the Dinosaurs. There is trully nothing like allowing your surround sound to lift the fur on your Cats back. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys Dinosaurs, Nature or lifting Cat fur.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Interesting., January 13, 2007

This review is from: Soundscapes of the Dinosaurs (Audio CD)

Pretty cool CD. Music combined with dinosaur grunts and growls along with buzzing insects, rippling waters and sounds of a tropical rainforest.
Kind of a neat album to put on with headphones and shut the lights off.
Also good for kids interested in dinosaurs and it contains great sound effects and the album really delivers on what it set out to do.
In other words, this is a project that very easily could have come off sounding stupid but Douglas Irvine does a great job and puts out a great Dinosaur CD.
If you are a Dinosaur Enthusiast, you need this in your collection.
