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.

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.

I recently hosted a dinosaur party for my 7 year old. Instead of party music, we played this cd as our guests were arriving. It has the same sort of effect as the Rainforest Cafe. Everyone loved it and will be purchasing their own copy.

I bought this for a dinosaur party and our 8 year old loves it. So do I - it's way better than your run-of-the-mill ambient muzak CD.

this is a wonderful, RARE CD to be found. There are not too many relaxing, dinosaur sounds with light music out there. It takes you back to an strange world with alien sounds! I would suggest snatching up this jewel while you can!

Douglas Irvine's Soundscape of the Dinosaurs is truely a unique auditory experience! This is not a hodgepodge of dinosaur sound effects, but a very realistic audio journey back to the age of the dinosaurs! I was surprised at the quality of sound and how natural this comes across! Very believable in every sence!
If you could pitch a tent outside at night and then surround it with speakers turned up with this CD, you would swear you had traveled back millions of years!
If you enjoy dinosaurs and are looking for a realistic audio experience, then look no further! Highly recommended!

The effects of this CD opened a whole new world of dinosaurs for young children. Combining sound effects with props intrigued young children to expand their learning of an unknown world. Highly recommend this CD for learning and for relaxation!!
