'In their way they saw many whales sporting in the ocean, and in wantonness fuzzing up the water through their pipes and vents, which nature has placed on their shoulders.'

This is just lovely. Living in New England I go whale watching at least once a year, and this mix captures the mix of peace and exhilaration that comes from watching the great animals frolic.

This looks great. I'd like to hear an instrumental version of endlessly as it's a beautiful track, and the Linda Scott song is just fab.
