Sounds Of Nature

Eerie whale calls and the clicking dialog of dolphins bubble up from the backdrop of a gurgling ocean. While the experience of listening to this may not be all that relaxing, the noises these animals make are at times riveting and never less than thought-provoking. The mournful echo whales make is truly beautiful; at times they sound exactly like Jimmy Page's bow scrapes on the live "Dazed and Confused," while the dolphins' communicative noises are astonishingly humanoid. This is a really cool record.
