The bargain of the century, part 2

"This is the second of three box sets of five discs each from the "Echoes of Nature" series. These discs contain all natural sounds and no musical accompaniment. The titles in the box are "American Wilds," "Ocean Waves," "Morning Songbirds," "Thunderstorm," and "Frog Chorus." All are well produced, as one would expect from this sries, but I find "Thunderstorm" especially wonderful because, unlike some other thunderstorm recordings, this one includes not just just the storm sounds but also the sounds of the local wildlife, just as you might hear them before and after the rain. Run a search on any of the individual CD titles for more reviews of the individual discs; most amazon.com readers are as pleased with these CDs as I am . Consumer note: I don't know what the person who wrote the December 17, 2000 review is talking about. Perhaps he/she received a mislabeled box with the wrong CDs inside. I own this box and, like the previous reviewers, can attest to the fact that there is NO music on it."

"I can honestly say that this collection is the best deal out there. I have never bought a nature-type CD, but I decided to get some after having problems relaxing and sleeping. I shopped around and listened to several of the samples provided by Amazon.com before I decided to buy this collection. I couldn't have made a better selection. The recordings are excellent. There is no distracting background music. They are pieced together wonderfully. And best of all, they have helped tremendously. I will put on the Ocean Waves CD and I am out before the first track is even done. Another great thing is that it contains all the CD's that I wanted, but that Amazon.com doesn't have immediately available. That is, the Thunderstorms, the Morning Songbirds, and the American Wilds. So, you get them all without waiting. If you are in the market to buy some nature CD's this collection is it. You get 5 CD's for less then the price of one traditional CD. So, you can't go wrong."

Above any expectations!

"... 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."
