1. This is a real good CD. Very relaxing and feel like you are in the midst of a tropical island. This is a good buy

3 comments about Relaxation & Meditation With Music & Nature, Part 3 (5 CDs).

1. Only to be used as very distant background music, if that. A listening peson will realize that this is music made electronically with little human thought or inspiration. It costs little and that is what you get- little effort.



2. Not a very good set. Sounds like a kid messing with a sythisizer.



3. This cd set is great. I have the 1st set also and it is so soothing. If you have trouble falling asleep or winding down this will definately help. Highly recommended.

2 comments about Global Meditation, Vols. 1-4....

1. The quality of the music on this 4 CD set is mind boggling. Listening to any one of these albums will put you in an incredible state of relaxation.

   The selections are fantastic and the recordings of extremely high quality. If you enjoy world and meditative music this is the one set of CD's you simply must own!




2. Other collections that I've purchased over the years are just reproductions of traditional music.

   What sets this collection apart from the rest is that each piece was sampled from the source. Whether it's in Korea, Ghana or the Australian outback, the authentic recordings are crisp and inspiring.

   A great companion box set to take a look at is 'Global Celebrations' by ellipsis arts.

5 comments about ECHOES OF NATURE: The Natural Sounds Of The Wilderness, Part 1 (5 CDs).

1. This is a great buy. The CDs cost under $6.00 apiece in this collection. I play them in a loop in the main living area of my house, and I play them all night for my bird and to mute outside noises that alarm my dogs and set them to barking.



2. I have been sampling nature sounds and CD's for several years now, looking for a soothing backdrop that will help me to relax and sleep that won't irritate my sound sensitive husband. His complaint about the others is that they are electronically created, not true nature sounds. Echoes of Nature is actual recordings from nature and you can hear the difference. It is very sensitively edited and produced so that you feel that you are in nature. There is lots of space between sounds, it is not crowded and over stimulating. Even my husband asks me to put it on. I use it also in the waiting room of my office and people enjoy the tranquil ambience it creates. I highly recommend this.



3. not what i expected. more jungle sounds than anything. I wanted rain, crickets, and storms



4. When it comes to nature cd's, less is more to my ears. So often, including here it seems, the engineer seems to think that more is more, the more sounds they can fit in the mix, the better. What about non-distrcipt ambient sound from the forest? That seems to me the best and most relaxing part.
   
   The sound of running water is highly unrealistic as well. For my ears, too busy for a natural sounding cd. For the generous price, you might want to come to that conclusion yourself.



5. Finally. Nature sounds alone. Generally, nature is drowned out by boring "elevator music". Not in this case. The CD's contain actual nature sounds. I find these CD's great to listen to while at work. Very relaxing!

2 comments about Relax With Thundering Rainstorm/Desert Winds/Sailboat.

1. These recordings are relaxing -- but they are "enhanced with music(?!)." I found the music distracting. Based on the little information provided at this site concerning the contents of the CDs (there are three), I thought I was ordering nature sounds without music. If that's what you're looking for, look elsewhere.



2. I love these tracks and have used all three after work to reduce my stress level, along with some scented candles. The desert thunderstorm has a softly swelling and fading cadence that is soothing with the rhythm of the rain. Listening to it, I can almost smell the rain hitting the earth. The sailboat sounds are also soft and relaxing, with far-off gulls in the background. Glad I found it on CD!

1 comments about The Trilogy.

1. There are moments in these discs when you will feel like I imagine it must be like to be swimming near a whale in the night time. You know: that feeling (a little scary, a little exhilarating) of being beside something huge, something out of your control and yet something essentially calm. Obmana reaches these heights (or should that be depths?) often enough for me to recommend the music without reservation.

   Having said that, the combination of light synthetic drones, found sounds and washes of tone really needs more time to spread out. Most of the tracks included in Trilogy are under ten minutes in length, which is a pity because there are times when the music really seems to have more to say. Still, that's certainly better than being too long!

   Steve Roach (who has worked with Obmana on a number of projects) has taken this sort of music much further than these discs go, but hey, why not enjoy both?

   An intense, beautiful release.
