Pure Sounds mixes gentle acoustic instrumentation over soft electronic textures and nature effects like crashing waves, birdcalls, rainfall, and trickling rivers. Despite the claims of its back cover, this sound is pretty standard for the relaxation and meditation side of new age/contemporary instrumental. Selections like "Ambient Rhythms," "Cool Waters," and "Delicato" aren't unique, but they're lush and pristine enough to provide the casual listener with relaxing background music. ~ Johnny Loftus
