Title: Hell's Bells #2
Review: Most soundscape recordings are of a time & place, an environment for listening based on local ambience. Steven Feld's three bell CDs are different -- each one is a series of sound effects recordings tied together by only one theme -- bells.There are church bells. There are herds of sheep wearing bells. There are bells on clothing. Ceremonial bells. Musical bells. Cow bells. Bells on trucks. Windchime bells. And not just short samples either, most of the recordings are 8-11 minutes.These are the kind of recordings a person into sampling might buy, or a person making a movie soundtrack. They're not even remotely usable as CDs you might listen to for enjoyment.
