Free Music Notes for Ocean Surf: Timeless and Sublime
Free Music Review: lovely
Hit: 5 Stars
lovely recording-- didn't help my baby sleep as i had hoped, but nothing does.Free Music Review: Pure Ocean
Hit: 4 Stars
This CD has very realistic and authentic ocean sounds. It's definately a high quality CD. However, it's only ocean sounds, no animals or music. I would prefer some animal sounds for a little variety. But, it's great if your looking for just ocean wave sounds. At first I had a hard time going to sleep because I had the volume turned too high. After turning the sound down, I enjoyed the CD more.Free Music Review: Okay, but ocean too mild
Hit: 3 Stars
This recording was lacking in several ways. If you like big crashing waves, this one does not deliver, as most are gentle to medium waves that end peacefully against a sandy beach followed by sounds of water trickling. The sounds are a bit disproportionate with the waves somewhat muted and the "trickle" sounds much louder than you would expect. The wave pattern seemed too rhythmic and unnatural to me, as though I were listing to one wave at a time with a pause between each rather than a recording of the ocean. And lastly, there was just too little variation (I know that can be a good thing, but was taken too far on this cd).
I have a few of these ocean sound cds as I have found they are perfect for listening at work. They are soothing but do not interrupt my train of thought. So far my favorite is Echoes of Nature: Ocean Waves (I'll review it on its amazon page).
There are so many variations of ocean sounds in the world, why hasn't someone developed a 4-cd set of ocean sounds?
Free Music Review: Dan Gibson Ocean Surf
Hit: 3 Stars
Dan Gibson, may he rest in peace, made a recording of the ocean that is very accurate (Ocean Surf). But he was obviously fascinated by any and all sounds that were there to be recorded .
There's only about 17 minutes of Ocean Surf that is actually from the perspective of someone listening to the ocean (what they would actually hear) the rest of the CD is filled with the sloshing and splashing of water around tidepools and on rocks that you wouldn't hear unless you had highly directional ears and amplified hearing.
This is less than soothing, between waves these sounds that make you check to see if the kitchen sink isn't overflowing ! ! !
Free Music Review: Gets on your nerves
Hit: 3 Stars
I don't know what it is about surf CD's. When we go to Hawaii we always rent a house right on the ocean and we sleep to the sounds of the surf all night. For some reason, any CD of the surf we've bought gets after your nerves after about five minutes and is no longer relaxing. It's almost as if they record a minute or two of surf and just keep repeating it over and over. This one was better than most, but it still annoys us after a while.
