Search - Dan Gibson's Solitudes :: Journey with the Whales

Travel the World in 60 minutes!

"With this older Solitudes album you can literally travel the world in 1 hour...from Japan, to the Arctic Circle, to the North Atlantic to Hawaii--accompanied by all sorts of beautiful whales and music that is sometimes soothing...sometimes energizing and engaging.One artistical endeavor the makers of this album took were to spontaneously create the music...and it works so well to the effect that at times you can't discern an instrument from a sound of nature! It's very interesting...and worth listening to.Along the way of your journey you'll become friends with beluga whales, killer whales (or orcas), narwhales (like belugas with marbled skin and males with a "tusk"), and everyone's favorite...the Humpback.I am very fond of the sounds of the breaking and floating ice on track #2...accompanied by the sounds of red-throated loons; it transports me to Northern Alaska."

To go into deep sleep...

"Ever since I rediscovered it in my CD collection, we've been playing this album to help soothe our baby and it's done wonders... but not only to him, but to us too! Beside being the musical trip another reviewer described, it is a great new age album that takes you into deep relation mode. Highly recommended after a stressful day at work or simply to chill out."
