Beware! The CD is recorded incorrectly!

My copy of the collection must be recorded incorrectly. The voices are sped up and sound very unnatural. The recording speed must have been set at the wrong value for each track, because some poets sound like a chipmunk and others sound almost okay. The CD plays the same way on a audiophile CD player and two different computers. I recorded a wav file and varied the sampling rate using Matlab. A technician must have transposed 22050 to 20250 Hz on some of the tracks. Though, the other track speeds don't make sense.

I take this CD set everywhere

I love slipping this CD on and just laying in my bedroom listening to some of my favorite poets read their own work-it is haunting and beautiful. If this is the sort of thing you like, then you will enjoy this collection and the price is good for 3 CDs full of poetry.

wonderful

enjoy
