2.0 out of 5 stars Yeah, Well, So? Where Are The Rest????, April 14, 1999

By	Robert Carlberg (Seattle) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

There were 11 Syntonic Research Inc. "Environments" LPs between 1970 and 1979, with a different environment on each side (22 total). "The Psychologically Ultimate Seashore" was their first and perhaps most famous because it was a new concept. "Dawn and Dusk at New Hope PA" were perhaps their two best environments.

Both of these have been re-released on CD (thankyouverymuch). Oh, and also "Environments 2: Tintinnabulation" which was the only one in the series which was not a nature recording (it's composed of synthesizer bonging, rather more like the Wolff/Hennings "Tibetan Bells" recordings). Not one of my favorites.

The other 19 Environments have not been released! These include some great ones -- Winter Snowstorm, English Meadow, Caribbean Lagoon, Wood-Masted Sailboat, Dusk and Dawn in the Okefenokee Swamp, Be-In.... These are fabulous recordings which have not been duplicated by other environmental recordings. WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY?

Syntonic Research Inc., if you still exist, are you listening?

5.0 out of 5 stars For Relaxation and Meditation This One is Excellent, June 10, 2000

By	"alabasterwoman" (Shasta, CA United States) - See all my reviews

I work for a group of social workers and therapists who specialize in stress, molest issues, and other trauma... and we've found that this recording is one of the best ever to promote a safe and relaxing "audio environment". With undertones similar to heart beats and a natural flowing rhythm vaguely similar to the sounds of the womb, this recording seems to promote an immediate sense of calm. One of our therapists got so relaxed, she actually fell asleep listening to this. I have a copy for myself at home, too, and play it for my dogs when they're aggitated by lightning storms. The low-tone non-melody is very soothing. I think it's excellent. Buy this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT CD - MORE ENVIRONMENTS SERIES ON CD PLEASE!, April 7, 2002

By A Customer

A really great series of records which only a few are available on CD. It is sad that this one is so hard to find. It was one of the best in the series and surely the most interesting. I am hoping that the company with the rights to this series will release more of the ENVIRONMENTS series on CD.
