Gentle Rain: Nature's Relaxing Sounds

CD-Charts > Music > Environmental
by: Various Artists

Release Date July 15, 1997
The louder I turn it, the louder the hissssing. It's possible that it's meant as a part of the rain sound, but to me it sounds like non-stop hissssing. If it wasn't for that it seems like it would be very relaxing. Too bad!

Relaxation & Meditation With Music & Nature, Part 3 (5 CDs)

CD-Charts > Music > Environmental
by: Various Artists

Release Date April 13, 1993
Only to be used as very distant background music, if that. A listening peson will realize that this is music made electronically with little human thought or inspiration. It costs little and that is what you get- little effort.

NatureQuest: Guitar By the Sea

by: Guitar By the Sea

I've had this CD for years and it became scratched and I was sick about it so I was thrilled to find another one to replace it. The music is so soothing and relaxing, my most favorite CD.

Sounds of Earth: Wind Chimes, Vol. 1

CD-Charts > Music > Environmental
by: Various Artists

Release Date October 12, 1999
I rely upon the customer reviews and take a chance when all comments are favorable. Anyone expecting to find a soothing CD to use as a peaceful background for relaxation or meditation should be forewarned.
This CD begins serenely until minute 12:00 when the tone becomes shrill and frenetic. This agony continues for a painfully long 2 minutes and then re-appears minute 23:00, 42:00, and finally in minute 53:00. Why these turbulent, high-pitched sounds were inserted is a mystery.
I hope this gives you an idea of what to expect from a CD with so much promise

The Spirit Cries: Music Of The Rain Forests Of South America & The Caribbean

CD-Charts > Music > Environmental
by: Garifuna, Ashaninka, Aluku, Wayana

Release Date March 02, 1993
This CD, part of the Library of Congress' Endangered Music Project, is one of the greatest wolrd music CDs anyone could get their hands on. I strongly recommend this CD to anyone interested in the Native Americans of Latin America, or the traditional African-American music of that region.
The music includes songs from the Garifuna ("Black Caribs" of Belize), Choco Indians of Panama and Colombia, Shipibo of Peru, Ashaninka of Peru, Aluku of French Guiana, Wayana of Suriname and Maroons of Jamaica. Quite a diversity of cultures, ranging from Native Americans to the free descendants of African slaves brought over by the colonists. However, all these cultures have similar, and yet distinctly different, musical stylings.
Almost all ... Read More:

Antarctica

CD-Charts > Music > Environmental
by: Douglas Quin

Release Date May 05, 1998
There are soundscapes which seek to immerse you in another time & place, and then there are soundscapes whose purpose seemingly is to make you question reality.

"Antarctica" falls squarely in the latter.

Enduring incredible hardships of sub-zero temperatures, inaccessibly remote locations, equipment not designed for such abuse and animals who spend their lives hiding, Quin emerged from the ice shelves with a sheaf of recordings which must be heard to be believed. There are seals that sound like asthmatic children, penguins who sound like roosters, fish who sound like synthesizers and shifting ice which sounds like nothing else on earth.

Among soundscape recordings this is, hands down, the most hard-fought ... Read More:

PINE FOREST (Sounds of Nature Series)

CD-Charts > Music > Environmental
by: Suzanne Doucet

Release Date November 01, 2005
This album out of the SOUNDS OF NATURE SERIES is my favorite. When I close my eyes and listen with head phones, I can feel the wind and smell the pine cones... It is a wonderful nature experience and totally relaxing. Highly recommended. Also recommended PINE FOREST (Sounds of Nature Series)
