Summary: Bogart is the best! I really can't say whether I am more fascinated by the frogs or Bogart. If you want to hear some strange animal vocalizations, it's hard to beat bird calls, but there is no bird set with Bogart. Bogart should have had a chance to read books on to audio cassetes or do voice overs. I would have dreaded having him as a science teacher because his strangely appealing (though gravely) voice would have lulled me to sleep. One feels--just on voice alone--that Bogart must have had a deep commitment to art. No doubt Bogart spent a lot of time out and away from habitation, hearing far more in the way of animal speak than any human tongue, and thus his voice reflects a certain niavity that sounds completely at home amongst the various frog vocalizations. The pleasure of listening to Bogart and his frogs is of course completely dependent upon the tastes of the listener, though it will surely bring hours of joy to anyone with an overly long stay within any number of academic communities. Summary: Well-Made Audio This CD is the best audio frog and toad sounds that I have heard. Thorough research into the different sound at varying circumstances make for interesting analyses. The geographic differences, in particular highlight the beautiful diversity of calls, even in a specific specie. The recordings were made in the late 50's and early 60's. They sounds are still crispy clear. Most of those habitats may have disappeared by now, especially down in Florida and the West. This is indeed a national treasure. If you are interested in listening to another tape of North American frogs and toads, you may consider purchasing "The Calls of Frogs and Toads". Summary: If you buy only one frog recording this year... I listened to this CD on my radio during a long drive. Apparently the DJ needed a break so he played the whole thing. The frog sounds are relaxing. The narrator's voice kinda destroyed the whole frog-vibe I had going. It would have been better to use the narration as liner notes. However, this is a very old recording, done in the days of vinyl, and with so many (short) tracks it would have been difficult to visually see which track was playing and match it up with the appropriate frog on the track listing. So the narrator was needed to identify the frogs on the LP. The CD should have removed the narration - although it's not without its own merit. Summary: SupercaliFROGilisticispialidocious! If heaven has a place on earth, it must be a lillipad. Yes-sir, hop to it and buy this CD. The CD draws listeners in with a robust yet soft chorus of frogs, before building to an erotic crescendo of mating calls. The resulting explosion of deep croaking leaves you with the taste of flies, and a curious desire for chocolate sundaes. My marriage has never been better! Be careful of course, or you'll end up with unexpected tadpoles. Summary: More fun than a barrel full of lampreys.... Absolutely brilliant... The grunting of the pig frog, the narrator's gravelly old voice drawling shades of Bascom Lamar Lunsford, and best of all the tracks detailing the polytonal mating calls of Grant's Ruffled Treefrog, Bufo Lanarkus... I leave them on friends' voicemail but constantly -- a new frog every day. Now I'm learning to recognize them in my own environs! A fine companion to the Erotic Sound Effects CD. |
