The right note!

I am a musical novice - not before buying my own music system early this year have I ever ventured into any music store (so much so that I thought Planet M was spelt 'Planetium!'). Till not very long ago - bryan adams was hip, 50 cent was very little change, Shakti was a woman and Bon jovi was real hard rock. For such an ignoramus - finding instrumental pieces that blend with sounds of nature (like that of wind, chirping birds, voices of rustling leaves talking to each other - anything!) is as bad as a needle in the hay stack.

If you would know of any such instrumental pieces can you let me know - anything that I can buy, borrow or steal should do :) Any genre is ok - just that they should be instrumental or have limited vocals and relate to nature and its voices - of the wind, waves or vacuum.

Shall put an application for your goodwill at the nearest hoodibaba ashram :)
