| "Los Canales" is a journey through
the canals and jungles of Caribbean Coast. I spent 2 days
bringing supplies to villages on these canals and visited
the remote town of Tortuguerro. The beach at Tortuguero
is the largest nesting site for sea turtles in the Caribbean. |

| Cahuita is one of the smallest national parks,
but the most exotic and tropical. Palm trees line the white
beaches and a coral reef is thriving with multi-colored
tropical fish. The hills of misty and cloudy rainforest
are a backdrop while howler and spider monkeys fill in the
scenery. |

| The concluding composition is called"Train
to Limon" and is a portrayal of the train ride from
the capital of San Jose to the Caribbean coastal town of
Limon. This ride was once considered one of the most scenic
train rides in the world: the scenery consisted of coffee
plantations, villages, rivers, mountains and jungles. Because
of an earthquake, this jungle train no longer exists. |

| Reviews of Distant Latitudes |
| "Bob Seawick produces his version of jazz/rock oriented
electronic music. The combination of influences is tight,
progressive, interesting and exciting; the music moves and
changes rather than remains static." |

Jersey. One that shows you are right on top of the newest
forms of Electronic Music." |

Some of the most innovative music I have heard in quite
a while. "Los Canales" is really outstanding.
