This is one of the first items I ever obtained for my "second collection," an early 80s thrift store find that set me back 75 cents. It"s sonically appealing because of the insistent low frequency rhythms, and it"s emotionally resonant because most of the recordings are of canines with heart problems. It"s a lot like Lennon and Ono"s “Baby"s Heartbeat" (1969) but much longer and more varied - plus it"s doggies!

My friend (whose dad is a vet) gave this record to me a couple of years ago. It remains one of the strangest records in my personal collection. Thanks for this one.

Hey I love this guy's voice, he sounds like a cross between Elmer Fudd and Peter Lorre (sort-of Austro-labiodental). I'd love him to be my dog's vet, except I don't have a dog. And those heart beat sounds, so much softer than you expect them to be. Quite lovely. Almost soothing in a way.

I love this Voice. Canine Heart Sounds main influences are non-musical. Nobody really knows what influences Zach, Ben or the two Matts. Dan however has gone on record about his affinity for Gary Paulsen novels, and he even likes Brian's Winter which was a slap in the face to all of those who enjoyed Hatchet, because it speculates on what would have happened if the young Brian would have to endure the harsh winter in the wilderness instead of being saved when he found the emergency transmitter.
