I found this extremely disappointing disc to have the opposite of its intended effect. Supposedly produced to evoke tranquility, peace, and a stress-free environment, I found its cacophonous mixture of over-loud running water, relentlessly clanging wind-chimes, and screeching birds nerve-wracking. The first track (half the disc) is unlistenable; the second is more tolerable but still aurally too "busy." The last word I'd associate with this recording is "serene." Seriously misrepresented (or misconceived).
