Thundering Rainstorm

CD-Charts > Music > Environmental
by: Various Artists

Release Date January 12, 1999
I love the sound of rain at night, so I bought this.
It is almost everything I could have hoped for. The rain comes and goes, and varies in intensity from light to heavy downpours. Distant sounds of thunder are wonderful. The CD is a single 1 hour track.

I didn't give it 5 stars because:
I don't like the bird sounds - makes me think its daytime. I just don't associate bird sounds with the comforting ambiance of a night rainstorm.
I find that the volume varies a bit wildly - there is too much of a range in my opinion: so if your volume setting allows you to hear the quietest moments, then the loudest moments will be too loud. The opposite is true as well.

But, for $4, I'm totally happy with my purchase.

Very nice sounds of just the ocean and beach. Four different tracks are included and they do have different moods. A very relaxing peaceful CD.

Peaceful Ocean Surf

Release Date March 30, 1992
This CD is okay for ocean sounds lovers, but I didn't care for the foghorn sounds or whales that come later in it. It's more of a Cape Cod type of sound that the Caribbean, which I prefer. I wanted JUST waves.

No music, no voices, just the ocean flowing. I feel like I am at the ocean instead of in the city when I play it.

Sounds of the Earth: Rain in Country

Not that any of these lyrics are hard to write. I just think that the way he lets his heart rest on his sleeve is nice. Everyone seems to do it these days but for me it never really gets old.

Anyway, I heard this song for the first time today and it's alright. The rhythm; the way he sings it is the best part of the song.

And then the 'hiding from his tears in the rain' and admitting that his 'emotions are out of his control' got me to like the song. enough.

but i still don't think it's great. it's not mindless but it's nothing new either. but if i had to take it or leave it...


i'd take it.

3.3 stars.

end note: i'll be watching for his next single. and i'm so surprised ... Read More:

Solitudes: Thunderstorm in the Wilderness

CD-Charts > Music > Environmental
by: Dan Gibson

Release Date February 01, 1995
The rain/thunderstorm sounds are great as well as the use of the surrounds, but most of these tracks have too many animal noises for my taste. I'd rather have just the rain/thunder. I knew this before purchasing thanks to other reviews, and I am still glad I made the purchase.
