"After working 8 hours, coming home to this wonderful mix of bird song and streams in an alpine wilderness breaks down the tension in minutes. Worth the purchase!"

Water, water, water

"I found these heavily discounted at a discount store, so I picked up 5 different nature recordings; Mountain Stream, Tropical Lagoon, Dawn & Dusk, Winter Storm & this one - Wilderness. They're all pretty good except there seems to be an incessant obsession with running water with most of these recordings. For example, I've often been in the "Wilderness", and yes, there is running water in the wilderness, but it isn't everywhere and you don't always hear it at all times... It also seems to me that the recorders tried to pack in too many nature sounds all at once. You can hear elk, hawks, crickets, birds and other noises - all behind the constant sound of moving water. What's wrong with just wind, and perhaps the occasional hawk or elk call? Why not just night sounds?



Sometimes less is more. Quiet is nice. Cut the water."
