I like whispering girls.

"The idea of the girls' whispering in the background is a tremendously alluring concept. But here they do not so much whisper as talk "softly", and not always very softly, either--especially the one who sounds like a man. I had to grab for the voice credits, verifying (by traditional name standards, at least), that both "whisperers" were women. At least this has the right Idea. I am sick, and even tired, of "relaxation/meditation/hypnosis/guided visualization" being dominated by male voices. If I want to be told to relax, I want a woman doing the telling. Not for sexual reasons, mind you (not that there's anything at all wrong with that...)--but perhaps mostly for the inner little boy cradled deep in my subconscious, cut apart from The Mother Voice, never to be so nurtured again. Having a dorky guy voice tell me to "relax..." or "feel loved..." borders, no, it flatly trepspasses on creepy territory."

Enjoyable.

"Interesting concept but it may have been even better without the girl's whispering in the background."
