The most relaxing and soft music you can ever hear. With a maragrita, a good sunset, some sun and this CD at home your in the tropics at once. Where i come from there isn't many warm days. But with this CD it does. It brings to life the palms and warm beaches...

Ahh...

Ocean breezes and steel drum music absolutely make my Caribbean vacations, so I was thrilled to find this album to I could bring a taste of the tropics to my own backyard.

I was so disappointed when I received this album...the sound of the steel drums are completely ruined by the addition of one of those old organs everybody's goofy uncle had in the 60s and 70s. You know the ones...they let you put a samba, bossa nova or fox trot beat over every Billy Joel song you tried to play.

It's a shame, because it is a nice selection of songs, but it turns the beautiful tropical music into a kitschy tiki lounge experience instead.

If I could give this C.D. 10 stars - I would! This is our favorite summer pool party music. Every track is fabulous! We even play this when it's just the family having hamburgers on the deck. It transports you to a breezy caribbean island with swaying palm trees. Okay, so it's just in your head, but man, this is a fun C.D.

A very unique recording, instantly takes you back to the caribbean and if you have never been.....just close your eyes sit and listen....magical....just like volume 1...can't wait for Volume 3....Tropical Supprise/Girl from Japan/summertime my fav tracks

Bought this CD for a Caribbean themed party I was hosting. The music is great if you want to put everyone to sleep! Its like that background music you hear in the elevator! It wasnt as lively as I was looking for! So if you like it soft and mello... then this is for you! If you want lively...try a different one!

Not a bad CD. I got one at a Yard Sale and I guess I lucked out and was spoiled a wonderful find. It is fine for a happy, tropical sound. Great background music for a party, or for just chilling in the evening. I do onsite and online trainings for a company that has an Island logo and theme to their product, so it fits well for me. You'll enjoy it.

This CD brought back the fond memories of our Caribbean vacation. Perfect listening. Like having the tropics right in your own backyard.

I pop this CD into my car's player whenever we are heading to the beach. Extremely relaxing music that gets me in the mood for a true Trini-style lime!

The music sounded thin, possibly due to not enough accompanying instruments. The performance on what instruments were there sounded rather amateurish.

I enjoyed this CD very much and it made for nice background music on a group outing "boat cruise". It set the tone nicely.
