Very Relaxing

I'm always looking for soothing background noise while I'm working, napping, or turning in for the night, and this CD is the best I've found so far. Other ocean tapes or CDs I've heard sound like white noise or become predictable. This one is so realistic that if I close my eyes I can transport myself back to my hotel room on the beach in the Caribbean last February! Even the seagull sounds (which are subtle and minimal) are enjoyable (I usually find bird sounds on nature CDs irritating.) This was a really great buy. I highly recommend it!

Echoes of Nature: Ocean Waves

This Cd is used in the bedroom to help relax and fall asleep. It is a pleasant 'white noise' that can be looped all night if so desired. An excellant and inexpensive investment in serenity that could be used for studying or meditation as well.

Pretty darned good...

I am able to close my eyes while listening to this CD with high quality headphones, and effectively imagine myself at the seashore (does take a bit of imagination, but not too much). It's pretty much as well recorded as any other nature sounds CD I've heard, which is not necessarily high praise... I've never heard truly excellent realism with ANY recording of this type. I don't think it's possible to do with the limits of today's recording technology. Anyway, I do recommend this CD for those seeking this type of recording. Very relaxing indeed.
