"I had been looking for music I could take in to the labor room with me to help me relax during the birth of my daughter, Sounds of Life was the perfect CD - it offers a ton of wonderful relaxing music that helped me take my mind off of my contractions and kept me calm. I would recommend this CD to all women who are thinking about taking music into the labor room! I am still enjoying the 3 disc set when I nurse, and I love the keepsake journal that is included with the package."
A musical journey much BEYOND the title of this CD

"While listening to the samples of this CD, I realized it had a function much beyond comforting music for one in "childbirth and beyond." It will be a tragedy if people pass on reviewing this collection because of the title. The music is not full of heartbeats or wombsounds. It is pure music at its best. It will satisfy the mother in the delivery room but anyone present with her will be captivated by the variety of music. I had been looking for a song as background to play while showing photos of Africa--"African Lullaby" captured my ear for the project, but my heart forever. And the most beautiful song I have ever "experienced" is on disk 1--"Silent Journey." This song was an amazing discovery. Each time a song is replayed, it seems as though I am hearing it for the first time because each song is refreshing and uplifting. I almost want to stop the CD after a song and relax and ponder on the song to savor the blending of instruments, melody, beat, as one would enjoy the bouquet of a fine wine. Investment in this collection for yourself or a gift for someone else will be rewarding. This CD collection of music is truly CANDY FOR THE EAR!"
