Pretty much what it says... a 1 hour straight recording (as I recall) from 

the middle of a lake in the northern wilderness. Beautiful recording. No music/instruments.



--Not to be (too) confused by others loon recordings from Solitudes: 

Loon Echo Lake, Call of the Loon, Land of the Loon, and Canoe to Loon Lake (Volume 1)



There is a brief thundershower in this one.

Another disc in this series I liked was the Thunderstorms.



Cheers, FerraBit

From Wiki:

Solitudes is a brand of music created by the late Dan Gibson who was a Canadian photographer, cinematographer and sound 

recordist.



During the late 1940s, he took photographs and made nature films, including Audubon Wildlife Theatre. He produced many 

films and television series. It was through this film-making that Dan learned how to record wildlife sound. He 

pioneered techniques of recording, and also helped design equipment to optimize results, including the "Dan Gibson 

Parabolic Microphone". 



Some of his early recordings of the 1950s and 1960s were released on LP Records, and start his Solitudes series, which 

was introduced in 1981. In 1994, Dan was awarded The Order of Canada for his environmental works. 





From http://www.solitudes.com/detail.aspx?ID=145

Listen to the Loons is an album devoted to the appreciation of the loon and to its preservation. It is a story, told 

through nature sounds alone, of this most fascinating bird and its environment.

Postnote: Found this torrent (too late) when searching - 157 of Dan Gibson / Solitudes albums. Like, Wow.

Probably recommend using that one... but it's not on TPB, so maybe I'll copy it over here...

Only difference is this one is 320kbps (vs 192). I ripped it myself.
