For those who, like me, fondly remember #16, "Alpine Blizzard", type in "Alps Blizzard" in the You Tube serach box. Enjoy!

I actually found this album at good will for 9 cents, what a steal! I'm going to try to collect the rest of them now.

This recording doesn't give the record justice. Sounds so much better on vinyl.

I have all of them. I even try to collect the import editions. Some have different covers and photographs. Irv Teibel is the person responsible for the Environments series.

Thank you for the UL"s i've have been looking for this series for years...

Michael Thomas

There is now an Environments app for iPhone that has the whole series. I'm hoping they release an Android version as well.

I had this on vinyl in the 70's and felt like the hippest dude in my neighborhood. The coolest thing you could do with the physical album (and it was suggested in the liner notes) was to change the speed to the slowest setting (was that 16rpm? can't remember) and the whole tonality of the waves took on a different feeling, like you were in the middle of an ocean of gigantic swells. Up the rpm's and you had a mild shorebreak. Fantastic. Wish the YouTube version could achieve this multi-speed equivalent, as its video's allow for.

The label reissued it on cd with 16rpm and 45rpm versions as bonus tracks. It can be found on streaming services as well.

@Dan Kennedy Right, just tried it.

@Bill Campbell good idea ... doesn't work. it adds a crazy, distracting phasing sound to the waves

William Schaeffer It can if you go to the video settings and change the speed.

On the cover, what are they trying to say with "the music of the future isn't music"? I thought music involves instruments and/or the voice as the tools for musical expression. So how is recorded nature sounds qualified as music? Maybe if you inject some instrumental sounds here and there, but isn't this just recorded nature sounds? I mean, I get that any sounds can be pleasurable, relaxing, and peaceful to the audible senses...ahhh, i may not be making any sense here...any thoughts?

+MelvinGira What you describe as "pleasurable, relaxing, and peaceful to the audible senses" is in fact what's happening in your brain. In my opinion, If anything which you are listen to is touching your soul it can be considered music. I am just back from listening to blackbirds. This is wonderful music of nature. Or the underwater music of Humpback whales - this is awesome!

+MelvinGira in my opinion, any art that makes you question whether or not it is art in the first place is doing its job!

also, we tend to only experience music like we do abstract paintings, poetry, or a combination of the two. "oh, that's a lovely texture." "i love the lyrics in that song." etc. so you can think of environments as more... figurative-based music instead of abstract. :-)
