Trance-inducing, but not for everyone

"I really like this cd; my wife hates it. At first listen, it might sound like a tape loop that Hart lazily repeats for an hour or so. On closer listening, you hear the slight differences between one measure and another. The basic beat is a recording of Hart's son while he was still in the womb, so it's regular, but not mechanical."

A Real Life Saver!!!

"We got this album before our son was born, and I practiced deep relaxation with it, planning to bring it to the hospital to play during labor. While we decided not to haul the CD player in with all the rest of our things, we did take it with us in the car after he was born, and it turned out to be a real life saver! Whenever our son had trouble sleeping, we found that taking him for a drive always helped. So we would put him in the car, and put on Music To Be Born By, and go for a drive while he slept, and we also got a chance to relax and recuperate. It's very meditative, like trance music, and after a while you don't hear it so much as feel it relax you as it relaxes the baby and puts him to sleep. And whenever he was fussy, we would put it on and he would stop crying and settle right down, like magic.It works like a charm - I can't tell you how many times we were grateful we had bought this CD! We recommend it to every new parent!"

"This is the music for the unborn child, being born and newly born. Mom's and Dad's will love to watch your child listening to it. I played it during my pregnancy, for relaxation, during my labor and to my daughter for comfort even now at 2 years, when she needs to simply breathe."
