p>The first track is ambient sounds of birds twittering and rain. There are plenty of new-age albums around but I found Fernand Deroussen’s Ambiances to be pretty good for ambient sound without nauseating harp or synthesiser over the top. Also good for working in an office and screening out nearby conversation.
