Rainforest

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential recording
On his first widespread release, Rich contemplates the ravaged state of the world's rain forests, and the music herein reflects both the beauty and mystery of those gradually disappearing environments. These aspects of beauty and mystery are represented by pulsating, rhythmic tracks and denser atmospheric works, respectively. The former is epitomized by opening piece "Mbira," a playful dance of xylophone-like percussion and bamboo flute accompanied by a fretless bass gently gliding over them; while the latter is best showcased in the ghostly flute free fall which builds during the eerie, airy "Sanctuary." The composer has such an uncanny ability to conjure vivid musical imagery that can transport listeners into his vision of a rain forest. One can practically feel the dampness of the vegetation, envision the evergreen locale, and connect with the pulse of life within its dense ecosystem. Rainforest was Rich's first breakthrough album, and it remains his most commercially successful. --Bryan Reesman

1 out of 5 stars just rain.......2007-03-28

It is a rainforest. Don't buy if you are expecting anything more than rain. Threw it away.

2 out of 5 stars Echoes of Nature: Rainforest CD.......2007-02-24

The only reason I rated this two stars was because my bird could care less about this CD. I originally was online with some bird websites. I have a cockatiel and she is so whiney (squawking - screaming) when you leave the room. One of the reviewers said this CD did the trick for his bird. Well I think I have a special needs bird :) The CD itself is soothing for me. However, it doesn't do anything to quiet my needy cockatiel.

3 out of 5 stars Good CD.......2006-05-29

This is a good CD, but not the best one. I have got various rainforest CDs in the past. Some were terible and some were great. Most of the Echos of Nature CDs are pretty good. The only problem is that if you here 10 sceconds of each track, you pretty much heard the whole CD.

5 out of 5 stars Good Sound Quality.......2005-11-08

You'd think that recording quality would not be an issue with these "background" CDs, but some are terrible. In contrast, this one was well-engineered.

5 out of 5 stars The Perfect Relaxation CD!!!!.......2005-09-10

I bought several Rainforest CD's in an effort to get relaxing rain sounds. This is my favorite one because there are no SCREAMING birds/animals!!! This CD has three tracks...Tropical Rain, which is perfect to fall asleep to...sounds like rain hitting leaves, Jungle River...sounds more like a small water fountain...but still relaxing, and Birdsong...which is still relaxing because there are no screaming birds...which I found to be a very common theme in my other rainforest cds. There is no music with these tracks!!! Which I love because why would you want chessy music when you're trying to relax with the sounds of nature???!!!??? It's great to fall asleep to or just to relax to...Hope you enjoy it. :-)

4 out of 5 stars Pretty Good.......2006-07-29

This was a very unique item. Fans of the series will enjoy it. At times some of the tracks seem out of place when out of the game, but that's more than made up for by the many powerful and classic tracks that these CD's have. The first CD is more techno-inspired while the second is more operatic. It's good music to do push-ups to or to drive to. Especially the first track of the first CD.

Opening with Clara Rockmore's reworking of Tchaikovsky with the theremin, and finishing with one of Brian Eno's ambient soundscapes, OHM artfully succeeds in its goal of giving a representative (as opposed to the impossible, comprehensive) overview of the first several decades of electronic music. Over 3 discs, 42 compositions, and 96 pages of notes and photos, OHM clearly illustrates the producers' and contributing writers' point that early electronic music is much of the foundation of contemporary music. Herein lies the connective tissue bridging musique concrète, 20th-century classical, electronic experimentation, and the theoretical avant-garde to psychedelia, ambient, dub, techno, electro, and synthpop and the globalization of sound. The groundbreaking uses of loops, sampling, drones, remixes, and cut-and-paste technology are put fully into context. The diversity of music included makes any sort of summation impossible, but that is also the point: electronic music is not really a genre, but an open field of endless possibility. From John Cage's famous "William's Mix" of tape snippets to Karkheinz Stockhausen's electronic orchestral compositions, from David Tudor and Holger Czukay's experiments in unrelated blendings of audio elements to David Behrman's supremely peaceful duet between computers and musicians, the aural renegades on OHM tread where none (save a few of their contemporaries) had gone before. The liner notes convey the incredible amount of hard work and experimentation it took to stitch together many of these pieces in the predigital era. Putting aside the inevitable quibbles about what's missing (much of it due to legal and/or logistical issues), a more complete collection of musical eggheads, eccentrics, and visionaries is hard to imagine. --Carl Hanni

4 out of 5 stars excellent but uncomplete.......2006-11-12

Althought most of the music here is an excellent collection of electronic music history, this 3 CDs lack of the important contribution given by the RAI phonology studios of Milan, Italy in the 50s
(which was bigger than Koln's WDR studios) with Bruno Maderna, Luciano Berio and Luigi Nono.
This is a big mistake. Milans studios were the biggest of europe and produced many important electroacoustic pieces.
If the collection aim to describe faithfully electronic music history, it should include this artists too.

4 out of 5 stars To call it music may be a bit limiting. .......2006-10-24

Some of the tracks on here are "music". That is that they contain all the bits we're trained to experience as music -- melody, etc. Some are not, and the composers would be the first people to tell you that. A lot of these works are reactions to ingrained rules, so they're bound to be jarring.

A more successful way to approach such a broad and varied collection of audio experimentation is to think of it as curated sound. This isn't something to wash the dishes to, or to seduce someone to (although if you did manage to seduce someone with the recordings on this anthology, HOLD ON TO THAT PERSON, because they've got to be a keeper). These are unique sound textures that deserve a close, probably solitary listen, and I think if you're in the right frame of mind, it can be a very rewarding listen.

My main complaint is sequencing: each dicrete piece follows it's own internal logic, so there are more than a couple rough gear changes. However, since each piece is so different, and the collection is so varied, I'm not sure that you could totally escape that.

4 out of 5 stars A worthwhile collection.......2006-01-11

The OHM collection contains some of those ground breaking electronic compositions that have shaped today's styles, from the early electronic instruments of Theremin and Martenot, through Pierre Schaeffer's Music Concrete tape music and the electronic music of Stockhausen and Subotnick, to the mainframe computer output of Risset and Chowning.

It is unfair to mark this collection down due to the production quality and 'musicality' of its contents, to do so would be to staggeringly miss the point of the development of electronic music through the 20th Century. What this collection shows is the ideas behind those at the cutting edge of the genre before many could even conceive of such output. That said it is hard going at points, as experimental music can be.

Highlights for me are no doubt Olivier Messiaen's 'Oraison' on CD 1, David Tudor's 'Rainforest Version 1' on CD 2 and on CD 3 David Behrman's 'On the Other Ocean' and Maryanne Amacher's 'Living sound Patent Pending'.

1 out of 5 stars OhMyGodHowDreadful.......2005-08-15

Ok, this collection is supposed to be early works and, thus not expected to be very sophisticated or polished. But the OHM collection sounds like the first attempt of a spastic cat turned-loose on a Moog keyboard. When it is not boreing, this collection of random and dissonant sounds (I can't call it music) is without any redeeming qualities to make it worth while. Don't get me wrong, I am a long-time fan of Wendy (nie Walter) Carlos and some other real pioneers of electronic music. However, I find that the Ohm collection has no similar qualities and is a major disappointment.

5 out of 5 stars Kid Stockhausen.......2003-01-17

This is required listening for anybody interested in the history of electronic music. Although implicitly aiming for the techno music audience, this audio history is overwhelmingly focused on the classical avant-garde of electro-acoustic composers. The closest you'll get to pop electronica is the Brian Eno track at the end of the third disc. No Kraftwerk, no Moroder, etc. Instead "OHM" manages to point to the continuities between, say, John Cage and artists currently working at the experimental edges of electronica (so-called IDM). It seems to be saying, "You think Kid 606 is visionary? Well check out this Stockhausen track from '59!"

Admittedly, some of the songs are much more interesting to think about than they are to listen to. Some of the early pieces that were made through thosuands of hours of pains-taking tape-splicing could be made today in an afternoon with a digital audio editor and a few effects plug-ins.

It is a beautiful package, containing a 90 page booklet of essays, quotations from the featured artists, and photographs. What all music should be: an education in daring.

5 out of 5 stars Terrific album for a truly worthwhile cause.......2001-05-25

This album is not a concert like the title here suggests. They are individual studio tracks with only one being a live recording, and that is the James Taylor track "I bought me a cat".

This album is terrific. It has a very diverse eclectic mix of styles, from old lullabys, to folk, classical and even the National Anthem of South Africa. The main theme running through them all though is children, for children, and a hope for a better world for them. But that does not in any way mean that this is an album for children, although they would enjoy it. This is an album for people, all people. And all proceeds will go towards saving the Earths rainforests. The packaging is great...a cardboard gatefold case with a 32 page book with all lyrics and photos of all the artists.

4 out of 5 stars Eclectic Mix.......2000-02-09

A beautiful blend of folk music and modern flavor. From Pavarotti to Paul Simon, the listener is treated to an eclectic mix of music that is a refreshing break from the pre-pubescent pop/rock sound of today's mainstream music.

4 out of 5 stars has high points but by end has very low points and becomes b.......1999-10-11

my review is a very true and honest and truthful one.All the songs are a wonderful blend of different sounds, but by the last two songs the album stumbles till it's over.

4 out of 5 stars Great concept; loved Sharon Katz & The Peace Train!.......1998-11-09

The concept of bringing together some of the world's greatest artists to sing out for saving the rainforests and world for our children and future generations was great. The powerful songs from Sharon Katz & The Peace Train of South Africa and Luciano Pavarotti were especially rich in textures and inspiring. Highly recommended for its diversity. Even better was the "Crystal Journey" CD by Sharon Katz & The Peace Train released by Gallo with its dynamic rhythms, compelling lyrics and beautiful voices taking you through the joys of South Africa's rainbow nation!

I heard one track from Spirits of the Rainforest on Media Player 11 and had to go see what it was, I immediately ordered from Amazon and I have been playing it in the car ever since (2 weeks ago). Beautiful haunting sounds of the rainforest and every single track has something special. I just love it.

3 out of 5 stars A pleasant album.......2006-10-03

Spirits of the Rainforest, released in 2003, is the second installment in the Adventure Cargo series from Diane and David Arkenstone. The music is nicely combined with the sounds of nature--birds, for example. Nine tracks are provided; all segue into one another. I find the album's songwriting, musicianship, and sound quality to be pleasing. My favorite pieces are "Rhythm of the Forest" and "Eyes of the Jaguar." "Rhythm of the Forest" is a fun composition with delectable guitar work. "Eyes of the Jaguar" contains stately, pretty melodies. The CD is housed in a digipack, which includes interesting color illustrations; also, there is descriptive writing from Diane Arkenstone. I think that the album cover artwork is attractive, too. The disc is just over 56 minutes. Spirits of the Rainforest is a recommendable piece of work.

5 out of 5 stars Ambling Along in a Rainforest.......2006-07-27

I very enjoy this one at times although watch out for the weather perhaps getting warmer and humid when you put it in. It always seems to coincide with such when I choose to play it. I'm ready for cooler cloud-rainforest selections after its synchronicities so far. (Ok, I typed this and the next time I played it, it was wonderfully cool in the heat of summer.) The bass(?) effect is denser- it isn't something easily played at low volume because it almost swells, obscuring the other aspects of sounds until turned up and balanced out enough, but the quality itself is excellent. (The bass effect isn't one that frays. It's a soft enough denseness, just fairly heavy I believe.) Overall, it is something I want to hear and it feels like a worthy natural immersion-- very real-sounding, excellent balance of animals. Good but makes me want that freer less clothed (ie maybe a less synthesized) though just as virtuous other needed for my harmony somewhere in between. There's a little conflict in that I'm not sure how to resolve. I think just listen to it when it feels right. It does feel like a world that's been "explored by moderns" a bit. I don't get the spirits part so far.
PS The cover has the most awful fake/stuffed parrot. It mars my awe it's so ugly and bad taxidermy-like. Why and how it was chosen and included I don't undertstand.?! I had to outline it a better look with a sharpie. (The other art/design is wonderful.)

I love this CD! It has been in my car CD player non-stop for the last few weeks. while driving around Portland, Oregon. It is up-beat but at the same time soothing. The sounds of flutes are mixed with sounds of water and my favorite, birdie sounds, yummy!

I've just discovered that there are at least a couple other Arkenston CD. I will be trying all of them!

Thank you for producing such a lovely CD!

5 out of 5 stars Lush and beautiful.......2004-11-18

I've owned the "African Skies" disc of the Adventure Cargo collection by the Arkenstones for a few months now and absolutely love it, so naturally I had to buy this one. I have yet to be disappointed by any CD by either Arkenstone that I've purchased, and this one carried on the fine tradition of impressing me. This CD is a beautiful ambient experience with almost South American-sounding pipes and birdsong woven into the melodies. Although for some reason I still like the African Skies album a teeny bit better, this one is in no way inferior. All I can think of when I'm listening to it is a lush rainforest river environment, which I'm sure was exactly the artists' intent when creating this CD. All in all, a wonderful album! I will be purchasing the third Adventure Cargo CD (Echoes of Egypt) soon!

5 out of 5 stars Awesome soundtrack.......2004-08-30

I don't own the soundtrack, but I am a big fan of Fern Gully's beautiful music. I've been watching Fern Gully ever since I was in Kindergarten, and I still watch it to this day. Anyway, ever since then, I've been captivated by the music accompanying this movie. Since the movie was released in 1992, I recommend it to 80's and early 90's music fans.
The first on the soundtrack, Life is a Magic Thing, it's got wonderful vocals, and a nice tropical feel. It kind of sets the tone for the rest of the movie.
Next up is the Batty Rap. Robin Williams is a genius on this track. This song was very well written and tells Batty's story in a way that only he can tell it.
If I'm Gonna Eat Somebody is a great track by Tone-Loc. The lizard has just caught Zak and is prepared to eat him. Once again, the song illustrates the point better than dialogue alone could.
Toxic Love. Who doesn't love that song? Tim Curry has the perfect voice for a song such as that. He makes it just creepy enough to scare little kids and unease the older ones. It's a perfect combination.
Raining like magic is indeed a magical track. Raffi has a fairly decent reputation for singing children's songs, but this one is a little more mature sounding. It's nice to hear Raffi on something other than kid's music.
Land of a Thousand Dances. The ultimate party track. Pip has just found Zak's tape player, and is acting all macho. Zak steps on the play button, and this comes out. I think this song symbollizes Zak gradually being accepted by the faerie community.
The most beautiful song on the cd though is this next one.
Dream Worth Keeping. Zak and Crysta are just having a good time in the beauty of the rainforest. You can definately see the connection between the two. Sheena Easton lends her wonderful voice on this one. "even when you see the darkness come creeping/A dream worth keeping/Will never fade away...." Come on. Gorgeous lyrics like that sung by Sheena Easton? You can't ignore it.
The track playing as the credits roll is Some Other World sung by none other than Sir Elton John, a music great. It's a nice, upbeat track.

5 out of 5 stars In just one word... GREAT!!!.......1999-02-16

Well I don't exactly have this soundtrack but I love it. I really like the song "Toxic Love" sung by Tim Curry. Anything by him is great. Make sure you this movie it is both great for kids and adults.

5 out of 5 stars very cool music!!!.......1999-02-15

This is a very cool soundtrack. I love all the different music genres it includes. There's everything from rap to easy listening. I have always enjoyed the movie, and now I have the soundtrack as the characters sang it originally.

This meditative record is a departure from the bluesier and funkier organ work for which Merl Saunders is best known. Experimenting with a number of synthesized sonic textures, Saunders establishes a peaceful mood that borders at times on New Age, but is anchored significantly by Jerry Garcia's guitar. Garcia again shows his ability to be comfortable in a variety of musical settings, and his playing here is inventive and interesting without ever disturbing the mellow atmosphere. Saunders calls it "environmental earth music" and the sounds are both inspired by and in honor of the rainforest. A lovely record that offers ample rewards even without undivided attention. --Marc Greilsamer

5 out of 5 stars Relaxing but vibrant.......2005-08-15

Merl Saunders is a great musician worthy of every accolade given him. This work, in part a collaboration with long-time musical soul brother Jerry Garcia, is simply a beautiful, relaxing, musically adventurous album. It's what you'd expect from this type of CD concept from Saunders and Garcia, although you probably didn't think this was something they'd do.

All the other reviewers have pretty well hit the nail on the head, so I haven't much else to say except that whenever I have a massage session, it's one I like to play because the imagery in the music really aids the relaxation process in massage. The results for me have been fantastic.

Then again, I just like to listen to it while reading or anytime the mood hits. You'll always hear something that you hadn't heard before, too, which is why it's not something that I've grown tired of as time passes (I've had this CD almost 15 years).

Nothing less than 5 stars for this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Perfect for a meditative mood.......2004-03-04

Wow, an instrumental synthesizer-driven album by the great blues/rock/soul daddy Merl Saunders! It's hard to know what to think until you've heard it. I used this CD as part of the "soundtrack" while helping a friend through labor. We did some guided imagery as a relaxation technique and this music was PERFECT accompaniment to our visions of floating down a river through a forest. I listen to this CD when I need to change a hectic or upsetting day into a gentle, calming but uplifting evening. I don't generally listen to "new age" music, but this is new-agey in the best possible sense because it paints vivid pictures and uses all sorts of interesting sounds, rather than being a bland drone of synthesizers as some new age can be. Jerry Garcia's melodic contributions to the first several tracks are really what makes the music so uplifting. His guitar weaves a melody in and around the gorgeous atmospherics behind, and it's not sleepy, it's quietly exuberant. Highly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars Some of the most relaxing, unique and beautiful music . . ........2002-11-10

. . . ever. This music brilliantly conveys the rainforest atmosphere. The instrumentation is incredible, especially the exotic percussion. Most of the songs are long and adventurous while "Sunrise Over Haleakala" is a very pretty, very sweet number led by a piano and Jerry Garcia's plaintive guitar. Elsewhere, Jerry's presence is more prominent, such as on the anthemic opener "Blues from the Rainforest." He really makes my heart swell when his guitar takes flight.

"Afro Pearl Blue" is another gorgeous trip into the jungle with beautiful female harmonies. Garcia doesn't appear on the last two tracks, but they are no less worthy. The very last track takes a somewhat different direction with drones, chanting sounds and more of the excellent Indian percussion that's woven throughout the album.

BLUES FROM THE RAINFOREST is a collaboration that represents a true melting pot of different musical cultures. The result is greater and more perfect than many other such mergers are able to acheive. For me, this album has come in handy on many different occasions and has become a classic in my collection.

5 out of 5 stars This is an AWESOME album!!!.......2001-02-08

Back on Earth Day 1990 me and some friends drove from LA to SF (not very enviromental of us, huh?) in order to see an Earth Day concert at Chrisy Fields in the Presidio. We were going because of Bob Weir and Rob Wasserman playing. (Actuially I was really going to see a Devo reunion!). It was a stormy SF day, clouds and rain breaking into sunshine and then back again. We stood in the wet through an all day musical adventure, many acts from Maria Muldar to Mary's Danish to the bad version of Starship and more. Bob and Rob's set got cut off by a storm midway into Throwin' Stones. Devo never played. But in the middle of it, Merl played. It was the first time I heard Blues for The Rainforest. It may have been the first time it was ever played live for an audience. It was so beautiful, with the actual wind and thunder and rain happening and supporting it all... I was so moved. I bought the CD that day. And the CD had Jerry on it!!! I have since bought about 10 copies, because I always want to share it with someone. I am a Massage Therapist and teacher, and I use it in my classes and my sessions all the time, it is so beautiful, peaceful, healing. It is a truly spiritual and groovin' album. And Jerry soars!!! Awesome!

5 out of 5 stars A relaxing journey.......1999-01-11

Merl Saunders makes a keeper of an album with the help of Jerry Garcia and others. It calms the senses and takes you on a journey through Central America's rainforrests with relaxing chords and native instruments. Jerry's distinctive guitars compliments the music here as it does on other Saunders' works. I personally listen to this album at work, and my co-workers are constantly asking me what it is, or to borrow it. It is a keeper, one which you will listen to repeatedly.

Amazon.com essential recording

On his first widespread release, Rich contemplates the ravaged state of the world's rain forests, and the music herein reflects both the beauty and mystery of those gradually disappearing environments. These aspects of beauty and mystery are represented by pulsating, rhythmic tracks and denser atmospheric works, respectively. The former is epitomized by opening piece "Mbira," a playful dance of xylophone-like percussion and bamboo flute accompanied by a fretless bass gently gliding over them; while the latter is best showcased in the ghostly flute free fall which builds during the eerie, airy "Sanctuary." The composer has such an uncanny ability to conjure vivid musical imagery that can transport listeners into his vision of a rain forest. One can practically feel the dampness of the vegetation, envision the evergreen locale, and connect with the pulse of life within its dense ecosystem. Rainforest was Rich's first breakthrough album, and it remains his most commercially successful. --Bryan Reesman

5 out of 5 stars Rainforest Riches.......2005-06-09

This album is an early release from the Hearts of Space label known for great new-age music. It really captures the feel of a rain forest, and has a very natural, resonant vibe. He was inspired by the rain forests of the Pacific Northwest.

"Mbira" - a fast-paced rhythmic song with vibraphone samples and bamboo flute,
"Rainforest Suite (a)Forest Dreams of Bach" - slow tempo with mysterious sound which reminds me of a Thailand monastery, "(b)Drumsong" -a drum sound with a beautiful tone(I believe it's a keyboard sample)and bamboo flute, "(c) Surface" - quiet and peaceful with percolating environmental sounds,
The other songs are great, too, loaded with environmental sounds. Highly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars breakthrough release.......2000-12-10

This was the album that brought Robert Rich to a greater audience, and I still think it's his best--though he is quite prolific, and by now there are several other titles that just about fully measure up to it. Rich has a wonderful way of producing a non-static kind of ambience; one might say that much of his work approaches the more classical concept of tone poetry. Here the imagery is particularly successful, with the feeling of the rainforest plainly evident as one washes along through one semi-melodic, meandering piece after another. An excellent place to start if one is unfamiliar with Rich's music.

5 out of 5 stars Spell Binding.......2000-10-04

I was overjoyed to find this sensational album/CD. I have been truly enchanted by it since I got my first cassette of it 10 years ago. Spell binding, Rich weaves a a lush path of musical inner vision through the essence of all you imagine the rainforest to be. Here are the shadowed, secret trails deep through the jungle, the jaguar's lingering gaze, the dazzle of dappled sunlight over head in a catherdral of trees; crashing intensity of tropical rain, and the steamy mist rising all around you, shot through with the flaming colors of tropical flowers, birds and orchids. This recording is beyond New Age or Ambient alone, and to me is the benchmark against which I measure all other "rainforest" recordings.

5 out of 5 stars The best of everything.......2000-09-30

I was overjoyed to find this terrific recording in a CD. All other 'rainforest' recordings I have ever heard - and there've been many - pale in comparison to this one by Robert Rich. I got the orginal cassette when it was first released in 1989, and to me it's still the benchmark against which I measure all others. It has just enough of everything: birds, animals, rain, variety, nice emotional progression, and truly haunting music.

4 out of 5 stars ESSENTIAL RICH.......1999-11-26

"RAINFOREST" REPRESENTS A CULMINATION OF ROBERT RICH'S EARLY WORK AND A LAUNCHING GROUND FOR OTHER GREAT FUTURE ALBUMS. THE COVER ARTWORK AND TITLE "RAINFOREST" MAY MISTAKENLY FOOL SOME. THIS IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH A GENERIC PIECE OF NEW AGE MUSIC, BUT RATHER SOME OF THE BEST "SPACEMUSIC" OR AMBIENT CREATED AT THE TIME. THIS IS A CLASSIC, WITH SOMETIMES HAUNTING SYNTH-TONES COMBINED WELL WITH LAID-BACK PERCUSSION AND NATURE SOUNDS THAT DON'T SOUND "INSERTED" JUST FOR EFFECTS. I WAS 18 WHEN I FIRST HEARD THIS CD AND REMEMBER FEELING TRULY TRANSPORTED INTO ANOTHER WORLD. RICH IS A MASTER IN THIS FIELD, AND "RAINFOREST" IS THE FIRST PLACE TO LOOK HIM UP.

5 out of 5 stars David Miles Huber.......2004-07-11

Another great album by David Miles Huber (51 bits per second), see at: www.51bpm.com, really great for sleep inducement. If you like it, you'll like also: "Mountain Streams", "Ocean Voyages", "Distant Thunder", "Mountain Serenety", "Spring Showers", "Awakenings", "Tropical Rainforest". Here in Brazil you can find only 4 titles as: 1.(Ocean Voyages): "Sons Da Natureza - A Viagem Dos Oceanos Vol. 28". 2.(Mountain Streams): "Sons Da Natureza - O Brotar Das Águas Vol. 27". 3.(Awakenings): "Sons Da Natureza - O Despertar Da Manha Vol. 29". 4.(Tropical Rainforest): "Sons Da Natureza - Floresta Tropical - Os Sons Da Vida Vol. 26. I think he is one of the bests in genere.

This CD makes your cares melt away as you drift off to the low lying hum of the music and the sounds of nature blending together to make your senses relaxed and heightened at the same time. I feel as if I am slowly drifting along a lazy river without a care in the world when I listen to this CD. It is, for me, well worth the cost which is already minimal thanks to our friends at ... . Try it!

5 out of 5 stars Rainforest Magic.......2005-01-27

This is very nice, relaxing music. It's great for drifting off to sleep to, or just listening when you need a break. I do yoga to it, and it's just perfect for that. I wouldn't call myself all that advanced at getting to `that place' in yoga, but this music helps transport me there.

Beautiful instrumentals interspersed with tropical rainforest sounds-especially bird calls and weather. It's pretty amazing stuff-there's just one track I find annoying, and that's Living Galleries, which seems to play at about twice the volume as the rest of the music for some reason.

O'Conner did well here-he succeeded in creating a musical illusion that transports you to a rainforest. And as the rainforests are steadily disappearing because of certain stupidities around and about, this is a much needed illusion.

All in all, you could probably use this music for anything, anywhere, when you want to calm down-you know, just breathe in, breathe out, and feel the earth. Rainforest Magic is almost like Celtic music in that it heals the soul.

5 out of 5 stars relaxing and uplifting.......2003-05-17

I'm a massage therapist and have lots of CD's to relax during massage and this is one of my favorites. I had the cassette and finally, many years later found this CD on Amazon and am so excited to listen to my good friend Rainforest Magic again.

I have several of O'Conner's CD's and enjoy every one. Rainforest Magic is my favorite. I wore out the first CD and bought another. I am a nature lover and his talent for inserting nature sounds within his music is so refeshing as well as relaxing.
