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.

The Sound of Trinidadian Sunsets

Best of Steeldrums

This album was released in 1994 and features the work of the Red Stripe Ebony Steelband. They are apparently the oldest and most popular steelband in the United Kingdom. They were founded in 1968 in London by five young men from Trinidad. They won awards throughout the period 1985 to 1989. According to the inner sleeve of the album, Billy Ocean is a long standing member of the Band who takes an active interest in the affairs and running of the group.

The album is mighty fine.
