Spirit of Relaxation CD3 - Ocean Surf

The third and final in the Spirit of Relaxation Series. These are good but it's not just ocean sounds it's ocean sound + synthesisers. What more could you ask for?

Dolphins and Whales

Spirit of Relaxation CD2 - Dolphins and Whales

Just to warn you that this does contain ambient synthesiser noises as well as our watery friends. This makes it brilliant and my favourite of this box set.

The Spirit of Relaxation

Spirit of Relaxation CD1 - Rainforest

People living in the 90s had it tough and the only way to sort your self out was to listen to a tree playing a synthesiser. This box set contains three CDs and according to the blurb on the back:

"Life in the 90s, as we reach the new millennium, could not be more stressful. The Spirit of.... series will sooth, heal and regenerate your mind, body and soul. You will feel refreshed and better equipped to deal with all aspects of your life on this planet."

This first CD is different from a previous rainforest album that I've posted before but is similar in sound. It is 39 minutes of bird noises, streams and gentle synthesisers. I'll post the other two CDs in the near future.

Frog Noises

Frog Chorus

1) Duet (2:34)

2) Water Frogs (3:36)

3) Frog Chorus (44:29)

This album is quite literally frogs croaking. It turns any room into an instant rain forest and has nothing to that Paul McCartney Song.

Classical Indian Ambience

Wikipedia says:

Rāga refers to melodic modes used in Indian classical music. It is a series of five or more musical notes upon which a melody is formed. In the Indian musical tradition, rāgas are associated with different times of the day, or with seasons. Indian classical music is always set in a rāga. Non-classical music such as popular Indian film songs sometimes use rāgas in their compositions.

Lost in the Rainforest

The Enchanted Rainforest

This is an ambient synthesiser symphony. There are lots of nice bird noises and watery sounds in the background. The music is very laid back and relaxing. The last track sounds a bit like aliens landing in the rainforest but they seem to find the surroundings relaxing and decide to stay.
