Relaxing Ocean sounds.......2007-05-18

Great Cd for relaxation. Soft, repetitive surf sounds and wave action, no blaring foghorns.

Ocean Surf, nature sounds audio cd.......2007-05-13

Dan Gibson consistently mastered, if not invented the art of nature recordings. This is not a music CD. Mr. Gibson used a very sensitive directional microphone and sat still like a guru while nature spoke. Not so easy--think about how frequently planes fly over our heads. Yet, this is not another noisy, monotonous hissing ocean recording either. Throughout, it is consistently relaxing as well as rich with almost visual detail. It is not distracting for massage, meditation, relaxation, sleeping, etc. unless it is played too loudly. However, turn up the volume while hanging out at home and it can transform your landlocked condo into a beachfront bungalow.

Annoying rocks.......2007-01-17

The sound of the surf is what I was looking for but the added trickle of the water movement amound the tide pools is not restful in fact they are down right annoying.

PURE OCEAN; use this with Deep Breathing! Therapy for the Soul.......2006-12-11

This Dan Gibson CD is one I use to teach deep, diaphragmatic breathing...the tempo is good if you use one breath in, with one wave, and one breath out, with the second wave. This is very helpful for relaxation and for breathing practice for Anxiety disorders. There are no annoying "extra noises" like seagulls, foghorns, boat motors, or otherwise extraneous distractions. What you get is Pure Ocean Waves...something quite difficult to find in the "ocean" of SFX and "relaxation CD's" out there. Slightly over an hour long, you can use this for one great calming break. No music in this one either, JUST the waves resounding a crash, trickle, smooth movement. If you can't relax with this one, we should talk!!

Echos of Nature: Bringing the Outdoors In.......2007-03-13

Echos of Nature is a very nicely recorded collection of nature sounds with no musical accompaniment and minimal white noise or wind picking up on the mic, as I've noted on other collections. The Songbirds CD, however, was defective or warped and would not play the first track on some CD players. On other players the track skipped and generated hissing and scraping sounds as the disc spun. Fortunately, you can order these CDs separately, which is what I did (and it is now one of my favorites in the collection).

There are a few nature sounds these collections tend to overlook, in my opinion. I'd like a CD with the sound of wind whistling around the eaves or through the trees (with and without a track that includes wind chimes of various kinds). A whale call CD would have been nice also. So, too, would have been the sound of wood burning in a fireplace. Last but not least, a night track with owls and wolves in the far, far distance would have rounded things out nicely. (In fairness, however, these are sounds just about every nature collection fails to include.)

Comparing this set to the 10-CD set I bought elsewhere, the quality of the audio is very good. Nearly everyone will find something to enjoy about this collection. And if you want even more, the same company offers a Rainforest CD collection (though I understand some of the tracks are identical to the shorter tracks offered in this series).

A few years ago, I would not have imagined myself buying anything of this sort. But having done so, I would recommend this to anyone who would like an alternative to music while studying, relaxing, meditating or falling asleep. If you'd like a way to de-stress or a vacation and just can't get there, Echos of Nature will provide a pleasant mini retreat for a very reasonable price.

relaxing and entertaining.......2007-03-10

These 5 CD's can be used to help you relax, or can be used to encourage creativity, or just to give you the feeling that your some place else. The waves could have been more intense, needs more "boom" when the waves crash, but otherwise the CD's are very realistic. And the price is excellent! I would recommend these.

great value.......2007-01-13

I like these 5 CDs very much. The sounds of nature are very relaxing. You get 5 CDs for the price of one. And this is great too.
"Morning birds" is a little dissapointing for me. Compare to others CDs this is not a hole piece but many separated tracks. But overall I would recomend it very highly.

Echoes of Nature.......2005-07-05

I liked the tapes especially the bird sounds that were actual sounds. However, one of the series has canned music. I would prefer all natural sounds.

Above any expectations!.......2004-05-08

... I am in cacoon of sound ... no railroad, no highway is heard... - that was the purpose to buy.
The sound is very natural - not naturalistic like in best computer games - but very real. Transitions from track to track are very mild and smooth - noticable, but no gaps or silence pauses. Very impressive.

Customer Reviews:

This is THE rain record........2007-07-25

As other reviewers have written, this CD contains only the gentle sound of rain. No music. No Birds. No electronic enhancement by a misguided record producer. Nothing to distract. Just the relaxing, sleep-inducing sound of rain.

When I awaken in the night and have trouble falling back to sleep, I put this in my bedside CD player and let it run. The white-noise effect is perfect for encouraging deep sleep. Might be some genetic carryover from our ancient ancestors.

Another reviewer complained about being able to detect the repeating rain segment. However, I tried to hear it, but failed. Perhaps I fell asleep too soon?

I had purchased other rain and ocean surf CDs. This pure rain CD is the best.

Awesome...Rain In Stereo.......2007-06-28

I work 3rd shift, and I have trouble sleeping during the day. A friend of mine suggested this cd, and I'm glad I took her advice. While waiting on my cd to arrive, I found a bargain rain cd at a retail store. While I enjoyed that one too, Rain in Country is far superior to it. I have a 5.1 surround sound system, and this cd is so much clearer than the retail one. The clarity is amazing, and so real. Its like you are sitting on your front porch with your Grandfather as the rain pours down. Remember those days? I think there is some faint thunder, but I'm not really sure. I believe this to purely sounds of rain, with no music or birds or duck sounds. Another thing is how the rain sometimes is softer and sometimes harder; just like a real rain shower. I put it on repeat several minutes before bed around 8am in the morning, and then I start to read my Vince Flynn or Ronald Reagan Diaries. It is so soothing, and I quickly fall to sleep. Even during the day when I'm off, I find this so relaxing. My wife loves it too. I don't claim to know if this is the best or not, but compared to the other cd it is. The sound is so clear and life like in my stereo, I'm curious how they made it. This isn't a thunderstorm cd, but purely 63 minutes of rain. I may buy thunderstorm cd, but I won't buy another rain one. I am very very happy with this purchase & you will be too!

wonderful rain sounds.......2007-04-07

This CD has the pleasant sounds of rain falling outside your window. There are no sounds of frogs croaking or birds chirping, etc., which I find unpleasant, as they keep me awake. I put this CD on repeat and it plays throughout the night. I REALLY like this soothing sound of rain that is on this CD. It is the best "rain CD" that I've found. I have given away a couple of other "rain CDs" because they had "thunder sounds" & "frogs/birds/etc.sounds" BUT this CD is just "wonderful rain sounds"!

soothing relaxation.......2007-04-02

I live in the city and use environmental CDs to generate "white noise" and cover up street noises. I set my CD player on repeat and play the disk all night long. This disk has proven quite useful for this purpose

Rain .......2007-03-15

I really like to hear rain on my rooftop. This is a really good Cd. It sounds like real rain. I enjoy listening to it at night. It is relaxing.

My Budgie Maude & I love this cd!.......2007-04-20

I purchased this cd for my budgie to hear & learn different bird sounds during the day while I am @ work....Maude just goes wild when I walk over to turn it on.....she will sit on top of the cd player & bob her head.
It will be cool when she starts repeating the different birds
I had no trouble with the track not lineing up but the 3 bonus tracks didnt have a name only unavailable....but Maude can't read so she dont mind

Great sound; Wrong Indexing.......2006-09-20

I give it 4 stars because it isn't too mixed up with the indexing and the most important part is the excellent sound...all for the low price! There are even 3 bonus birds at the end (but, no names!) I don't understand the person who says the indexing is not wrong. If you select a track and it isn't the bird then the indexing is wrong. Simple. Don't get it if you must have the indexing correct. And I think it is a great buy. No regrets! I'm getting more as gifts. I'll get the list straight. It will definitely help me learn the names!

great bird sounds!!.......2006-07-18

I don't understand when people say the tracks don't line up, because they do. There are three bonus tracks at the end of the cd which are not listed on the back cover. I don't know what birds these are, but the rest of the cover lines up, except it says (1)zero tone (2)summer tanager and (2) is one, because 1 is considered two also. The bird sounds themselves are amazing and clear and if you like bird sounds this is for you.

Bird Sounds.......2006-02-20

This is the most authentic CD of various bird sounds that I have ever heard. My two paraketts listen very intently to the sounds and then go on and make their own chirps too.

Titles don't match tracks.......2005-02-14

Apparently 3 more tracks were inserted without updating the track index. I realized this when I played the whip-por-will track and heard a hermit thrush instead. Don't use this CD for field identification unless you can figure out what the 3 extra tracks are and where they were inserted so you can rewrite the track listing accordingly. Otherwise, the recordings are crisp and clear.

Music in the Learning Environment - YES!.......2003-04-09

I recently used this CD as part of my master's degree research project and thesis. I used this music in a reading comprehension study and a hallway behavior study. I also used Halpern's Accelerated Learning music, and Creed's heavier rock music. To summarize: 75% of students who listened to these classical pieces before reading scored an average of 6.7% higher on reading comprehension tests than when they did not. Hallway behavior improved by 33% while this CD was played. In contrast, misbehavior nearly doubled with the rock music. The tempo, timbres and form of this music seemed most effective in the middle school environment I used for this study. I don't usually leave reviews, but thought this was noteworthy, especially for other educators.

Helps Me Learn Complex Information Almost Effortlessly........2000-04-07

I have a job which requires me to learn complex information to keep pace with technological changes. I've never had an easier time quickly learning and retaining the data now that I've started using this CD. The music is wonderful to listen to even when I'm not studying. The performances are a bit different from the way the music might ordinarily be recorded, an added bonus. I hope this label produces additional titles in the near future, I now own six and want more!

Very calming and relaxing drumming.......2007-05-08

This is a very nice CD when I put it in to play my whole house relaxed and clamed down and just listened very nice. The drumming is fantatsic, but if you do not like native american flutes not a CD for you in some parts of the CD the flutes are very loud. But I really enjoy this CD.

I really enjoy both CD's Sacred Spirit Drums and Drum Medicine. I live in an area of very little resource for this type of purchase- I was very happy to find what I wanted online- also very glad to be able to listen before I purchased- would not have bought them without that. Service was the best- shipping was also very good.. I will consider this type of purchase again when needed.

Album Description

The sounds for this series were recorded in 3D by Chuck Plaisance. His recording system is designed to simulate human hearing, using a binaural head microphone to capture depth, height, width, as well as directional movement. No special equipment is needed to get 3D sound from traditional stereo speakers. In fact, these albums will make your system - speakers or headphones - sound like it never has before. You are the experience.

All pieces contain compositions of pure Nature Sounds produced, arranged, edited and mastered by Chuck Plaisance and Suzanne Doucet. (aka Virtual Audio Environment).

Perfect To Fall Asleep To.......2006-07-20

I bought this CD because I didn't really know which type of sound I'd relax most too be it ocean, rain, forest, etc. Well I love all the sounds on this sampler, and I play it every night. My hubby says that 20 mins into the CD there's a rooster crowing, but I wouldn't know because by that time I'm already fast asleep. Great stuff!

3-Dimensional Pure Nature Sounds.......2005-11-21

This excellent compilation of 20 different Nature Sound albums was out of print, but is now finally available again through ONLY NEW AGE MUSIC(repackaged and remastered). This album creates a journey through different Nature scenes all recorded by Chuck Plaisance, with a special microphone that simulates human hearing. The sounds were then edited and composed, arranged and mixed like an orchestrated piece but still remain pure Sounds of Nature. Like Bernie Krause Doucet and Plaisance take essential Nature Sounds and recreate an ambience that takes you even deeper into the essence of Nature.

"lessons" was the single hottest jam of '05. for those like me that value raw rap over boom-bap beats, this is the joint for you! if you like watered down radio friendly hip-pop girly stuff probably not.

RA has been everywhere and done everything and is not afraid to tell you what a crazy time he had doing it and a great story about all of it. He first came out back in 1992 with a huge bidding war to get his music and then things went entirely to hell from there...

This is his DEBUT solo album, 13 years later. The tracklisting is probably a little more mellow than he would have done 5 years ago, but then again, 5 years ago he was pretty much as crazy as a person can be without being locked up...

The songs on this album are insane. The rhyme patterns that RA comes up with are so astonishing at times, it's really difficult to believe that he wasn't a superstar earlier in his career. Alas, his madness got him out of his record deal, onto the streets, and dealing with a very difficult home life...

This album is amazing. It's got amazing rhyming skill over very good beats. The only complaint I'd POSSIBLY have is the issue of versatility, but then again, RA doesn't try and be anyone that's changing the world, more than anything he just wants people to respect his talents and buy his album. He doesn't want fans to know who he is, he doesn't "want fans who don't know G Rap is" (and if you don't know the reference, you probably "don't deserve" to own this album anyways...)...

Well, If you DO know who G Rap is, and you DO appreciate a great rhyming artist at near his peak, then you SHOULD go buy this because it's very very good...

this is the RA album we'd been waiting for.......2006-07-12

there'd been a buzz about the rugged man since the early/mid 90s,
but i didn't feel his whole s#!t 'til the TILL MY HEART STOPS verse
on the first soundbombing (97) compilation. he had another joint on there,
but till my heart stops w/8-off agallah was just diehard spittin'!
8-off's 1st verse was aiight, but ra just summed it up..
then the hook swept in, and it kept me hungry for more.

i got a hold of his 94 (non) release "night of the bloody apes"
as crustified dibbs.. and didn't really dig it too much,
mostly because of the production; and the so-called classic
C@#T RENNAISSANCE with biggie smalls was just ok.
ra had guest appearances and features on other albums
that were memorable, but DIE, RUGGED MAN, DIE is the one.

this album has the production that fits ra's style,
and i'm glad his crusty dibbs krazy syko inzane persona isn't here.
he's still clownin' but not as much. it's just ra in the flesh.
and at the risk of sounding wack, he's just keeping it real.
>haha i gotta laff at myself. what a dork!<
this is the ra the rugged man material i've been waiting for..
to me, this is the follow up to 'till my heart stops'.
i mean, eye know this is 2 years since this lp dropped,
and he still hasn't mapped as i'd like him, too..
but that's good (bittersweet, isn't it?) cuz he isn't overplayed.
imagine mos def or one of your underground idols getting spins
and g-unit-type rotations.. that might be sickening, no?
kanye west's jesus walks was great when it dropped,
but after months and months and months of hearing it everywhere, i had enough..
but i haven't had enuff of the rugged man.
this album keeps me satisfied for now.. it keeps me full,
and i'll be waiting patiently for the next serving.

Nice album from The Rugged Man.......2006-07-10

When I first heard R.A. in the late 90's I liked him and never saw any album of his and came across this one day and I had to get it. A very good album, maybe 4.5 stars from self proclaimed dirty, broke, and grimey white guy. With 13 songs, guests are only on 2 (they're Wu-Tang related artists so they're good), you get a good deal of the Rugged Man. 2 almost classics, 3 ok songs, and the other 8 are tight. His lyricsa re tight, and stright dirty, gutter and grimey, like he says, he cares less about the money and fame just lyrics (he states the fact he loved a lot of the rappers in the 80's), but he has got some talent himself. Production is nice as well, from cats I mostly never heard of. N!gga Nilez does 4 songs, Ayatollah does 2, Koran the LTD, Cologero, Jocko, R.A, DJ Luciano, Dev One, and J Zone all do 1 song. A must have album for fans of true hip-hop.

#1 - 9.5
#2 - 8.5
#3 - 8
#4 - 8 (f/ masta Killa & Killah Priest)
#5 - 7.5
#6 - 8 (about the golden days of hip-hop - mid/late 80's)
#7 - 9 (tight beat)
#9 - 9.5 (great beat)
#10 - 8 (f/ Timbo King)
#11 - 7.5
#12 - 8
#14 - 8
#15 - 7 (song starts 3 minutes into the track)

R.A. The Rugged Man.......2006-04-05

I like the vibes that RA The Rugged Man has. A real grimey sound. Im feelin the production also. He has a pretty ILL voice at that so im feelin it, im feelin his lyrics. He aint all for that "fame" bullsh** so thats on a good tip and sh**. He doesnt give a fu** about all that MTV and BET sh**. Im feelin all the lyrics all the beats thats all I gotta say hands down. I recommend this album to ALL hiphop heads no doubt. This guy gots some good lines. Check it out no doubt.
