"Seriously, if you have trouble sleeping, these CDs are wonderful; they lull you off to sleep. I used to turn on the dishwasher (really) to help me sleep. For some reason the sound of water is very soothing and restful. Best recommendation: there are 2 tracks per CD, and I've never heard track 2 on ANY of them, have dozed off by then!"
Relaxing without the crazy background music

"There is some background music on these CDs, but it's not intrusive to the sounds of nature. I've listened to some nature CDs that included loud music over the streams or storms. This music is as soft and as soothing as the nature sounds - and compliments the sounds rather than covering it. If you need to relax, these CDs are for you. They're a great value, too!"
Perfect for Massage Therapists and listeners alike.

"I am a massage therapist and these disks are perfect for a 60 minute massage. They each have 2 tracks of 30 minutes apiece so you not only know when the hour is up, you get a hint when to flip your client when the first track ends and the second begins. The nature sounds are soothing (no screeching Macaws) and the music is new-agey and ethereal. It is NOT classical music in the background. I really enjoy these disks and they are a great and inexpensive tool to help me give better massages."
Wonderful CD set -- what a lifesaver!

"I was given these CD's shortly before my daughter was born, and they were instrumental in getting her to sleep at night and at naps. Wherever we go, we take these CDs and she feels right at home and can sleep anywhere, and she's now over a year old and still listens to them when she sleeps! Great for adults too! Beautiful music and nature sounds lull young and old quickly to sleep. LOVE this product!!! I recommend these to anyone!"
Music is a relative term here

"I thought the nature sounds would be beautifully enhanced with lovely classical music... instead, I get nature sounds with a dirge in the background. The "digitally enhanced" music (sic) sounds are depressing, overwhelming, and make this a poor choice for anyone who is used to the Serenity series of music and nature CDs, or the Simply Serene series. There is nothing serene about these. After attempting to "listen" to two of them, I am ready to toss them. A waste of money and a waste of time. Avoid!"
