Text on the back cover of the CD case:

Discover the magic of rainforest. Sounds of birdsong and distant waterfalls hang in crisp mountain air, accompanied by an enchanting blend of beautiful instrumental music.

Piano, gentle pan flute and warm orchestral strings, will take you into a relaxed as you wander the rainforest, a listening delight.

Tony O'Connor spent a year travelling Australia, recording sounds in several of the most beautiful rainforests like Daintree, Lamington, Tasmania for this musical offering.

While visiting a friend's home they played this CD quietly in the background while we talked. After a while I realised that I really liked the music that was coming from the stereo speakers.

I asked my friends who made the music and they said Tony O'Connor and they told me that the CD was called Rainforest.

I visited them again a week later and they were playing the Rainforest CD again, it was then that I decided to get a copy, this was the most relaxing music I have ever heard.

After I got the Rainforest CD I loaded it into my computer CD drive and turned on my Akai stereo Amplifier that was connected to my work computer. What I heard coming from the big Sanyo stereo speakers was pure magic. I felt myself drift into a reflective mood. If you ever wanted to hear music that could have come from heaven then this would probably be as close as it gets. The only thing missing is the angels singing.

Recently it was advised that I 'slow-down' and take things easy, in other words relax.

Good natural music would be helpful and soothe the soul while you drift into a meditative state.

The Rainforest music from Tony O'Connor is the perfect music to play at a low volume level while you relax. The calming effect of the gentle rain, the flow of water falling magically from a waterfall, sounds of birds, crickets and the like are magically mixed with the dreamy pan flute, strings, piano and other orchestral delights and altogether they create this musical gift from nature and mankind in harmony.

This is the sort of music I could play while drifting off to a restful sleep or play in the background while you have visitors. It is unobtrusive and calm.

All the tunes are catchy and my entire family love the music, this includes my teenagers. In fact my 15 year old Rachel and I are always after the Rainforest Magic CD to play. I guess I will have to get another one.

This is the first Tony O'Connor music that I have ever heard, but I plan to buy more of his CD's.

In my opinion this CD gets a 10 out of 10 for quality music and is value for money.
