Sorry, accidentally made a reply to your post when meant to reply to original topic, hence disconnect between two. Anyway, sticking to my belief that some, I never said all, birdsong is done for pleasure. I've spent thirty years working outside. Trout derive pleasure from being tickled otherwise they wouldn't allow it. Nor would other animals. We are not the only living thing on the planet which once in a while may be happy, arms race or not. I don't think that singing, purring whaterver is necessarily done for an audience of the same species or another and that, on occasion, other species than humans may enjoy being alive and express it. Life and death not life or death. To return to topic, I reiterate my opinion that certainly the first CD would be a very good accompaniment for a 'modern' human chemical journey.
