Query: loud, high-pitched and annoying

I'm a Bernie Krause fan, and was excited for the latest addition to my collection. What a disappointment! Although this has all the environmental realism you expect from a Krause CD, normally they're beautiful and soothing, and this one had roughly the pitch and frequency of a morning alarm clock... well, a bit faster and not as loud unless you crank the volume, but you get the idea--not soothing! More like crickets on crack. After the first painful 30 seconds, I skipped through the rest of the "East" sound track at 5-second intervals, but it never let up. The "West" soundtrack was a bit better, but still unpleasant. Perhaps if you grew up around these sounds you'll like it (I did, after all, learn to sleep to a chorus of high-pitched, loud frogs croaking in Venezuela, although it took 2 years), but if you're not already in that zone, I'd recommend one of Krause's many other wonderful CDs. Dawn at Trout Lake is good, as are Green Meadow Stream and Sounds of Nature.
