 Perfect for relaxing March 9, 2008
This collection of CDs has a variety of natural sounds which are not spoilt by added music. It is great to play in the background or simply to relax to. The choice between sounds of rain, or jungles etc provides a sound for every mood. It is everything I wanted from a nature sounds CD.
Great CD's January 21, 2008
Bought this CD set for my wife for Christmas and we both enjoy falling to sleep to the sounds. No music. Just the sounds of nature. I highly recommend this set. A really good bargain too!
 I think it's a deal December 10, 2007
The only thing I wish is the CD's were a bit longer. The rain is great! That's my favorite, but is all really worth having.
~Nature's best~ August 8, 2007
I bought this as I L-o-v-e nature & wildlife. I wanted something that didn't have any music, just plain nature sounds period ... that is what you'll get if you buy this cd collection. You have the option of listening to rain with thunder, crickets, birds, even the ocean! Having a stressful day?? Just pop in one of the cd's & unwind allowing you to take a mini trip (if only in your thoughts) to a place that is relaxing. I've actually fallen asleep while listening to these cd's!
Echos of Nature: Bringing the Outdoors In March 13, 2007
Echos of Nature is a very nicely recorded collection of nature sounds with no musical accompaniment and minimal white noise or wind picking up on the mic, as I've noted on other collections. The Songbirds CD, however, was defective or warped and would not play the first track on some CD players. On other players the track skipped and generated hissing and scraping sounds as the disc spun. Fortunately, you can order these CDs separately, which is what I did (and it is now one of my favorites in the collection).
There are a few nature sounds these collections tend to overlook, in my opinion. I'd like a CD with the sound of wind whistling around the eaves or through the trees (with and without a track that includes wind chimes of various kinds). A whale call CD would have been nice also. So, too, would have been the sound of wood burning in a fireplace. Last but not least, a night track with owls and wolves in the far, far distance would have rounded things out nicely. (In fairness, however, these are sounds just about every nature collection fails to include.)
Comparing this set to the 10-CD set I bought elsewhere, the quality of the audio is very good. Nearly everyone will find something to enjoy about this collection. And if you want even more, the same company offers a Rainforest CD collection (though I understand some of the tracks are identical to the shorter tracks offered in this series).
A few years ago, I would not have imagined myself buying anything of this sort. But having done so, I would recommend this to anyone who would like an alternative to music while studying, relaxing, meditating or falling asleep. If you'd like a way to de-stress or a vacation and just can't get there, Echos of Nature will provide a pleasant mini retreat for a very reasonable price.
