Tranquil Moods: Shades of Emeralds is a 40-minute, continuous sound recording intended for relaxation/meditation. It includes many of the elements typical to this genre, like gentle keyboard melodies, contemplative woodwinds, nature effects (wind noise, crashing surf); at one point it even features jingling bells. It's another strong entry in the long-running Tranquil Moods series. ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide
