Fantastic

"I have no words to exactly explain how I like this CD. I bought it the first time I visited Yellowstone just after coming to Montana. I have been playing it for over two years, and, still, when I am busy or stressed and I cannot go outdoor, I turn it on and I feel like if I were in the woods."
The Rockies in the East

"The first song I heard was Glacier Lake; that was 2 years ago. Today, I have listened to the other tracks and discovered that the sounds of nature are captured perfectly and is well accompanied by soothing music. This brings the Rocky Mountains to the east where I can enjoy its' natural sounds. This cd is not well-suited for yoga or meditation, but it does however, induce relaxation."
A seamless blend of original music and nature's sounds

"Unlike other music/nature CD's in which the music seems to be sandwiched between sound effects at the beginning and end of the piece, Rocky Mountain Suite is an outstanding tapestry of original music and nature. Glacier Lake, with the call of the loon, is absolutely haunting. Ditto for Winter Wolves. Both pieces are unforgetable. I guarantee that you will be whistling the Thermal Song after you listen to it!"
Magnificent

"A truly magnificent piece of work that captures the full range of nature's miracle in the journey from Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Coast.This certainly should help to relax and put you in tune with nature wherever you are
It is amazing how the music blends in with all the wonderful sounds of the Rocky Mountains and its environs.
Follow the subtle change from the beautiful opening piece 'The Runoff' to the mournful 'Glacier Lake' .If you listen in an area where there is a lot of birdlife it is hard to differentiate between the sounds of nature in pieces like 'The Foothills' and 'Westbound ' and the sounds of birds outside ,which just shows how brilliantly done it is The master pieces of the CD are perhaps the amazing 'The Thermal song' and the impressive 'winters Wolves' but this CD can only be fully appreciated as a continuous piece in its entiretyIt is a wonderful experience to listen to this real piece of beauty,which takes you on an amazing journey of meditation"
