Resumen del Editor

A collection of poems and songs by Robert Burns in an award-winning audio production by Almost Tangible. Set within modern and vivid soundscapes, this audio collection gives Burns' texts new resonance.

From the soullessness of a call center through the simple joy of a baby's nursery to the horror of the battlefields and all the way into space, this is a visceral roller-coaster through the poems and songs of Scotland's national bard. Robert Burns like you've never heard him before!

Produced with immersive 3D sound, we recommend listening on headphones.

Audio is Painful

The audio version is painful to listen to as they included background noise to accompany the poem. I was expecting a simple reading of the works of Robert Burns and this was not even close. Unless you can block out the background, I would not recommend this item. Fortunately, it was only a few bucks but I would have preferred spending those dollars on something else.
