"In the absence of any other reviews, I'd like to say that this is classic Krause ... you can imagine yourself either waking from camping at a beautiful locale, or maybe snoozing while fishing creekside on a warm, sunny day. Beautiful, calm nature noises such as bird calls, trees rustling in gentle wind, or occasional frogs (I think!) provide soothing background noise, giving the impresion of "surround sound" despite my having stereo speakers--you can distinctly tell that some sounds are near, some far, some left some right, etc... making for a soundscape with depth. It's hard to describe exactly how he makes it sound like you're out by a wide, open lake... no echoes, no artificial repetition (although you do get the occasional "dialogue" where it sounds like two birds talking to each other), no tinny noises, no cars rumbling in the distance or anything else that would distract you from feeling like you are resting beachside with no one for miles around."
