5.0 out of 5 stars The rain, the train and other things, March 12, 2007

This review is from: One STORMY NIGHT (Audio CD)

ONE STORMY NIGHT was a landmark album. Released in 1965, this was a first time attempt to blend music and nature sound effects, specifically, a California thunderstorm. The album was a great success, and spawned a whole series of MYSTIC MOODS LPs over several decades. Another "first" this one can lay claim to is the earliest use of a fully transistorized mixing board.

At various moments throughout ONE STORMY NIGHT, thunderclaps, cloudbursts and other sounds blend perfectly with the tone of the songs. The orchestrations are appropriately restrained and pensive. A sound collage of freight train and rain is quite effective, as well. This is still a most lovely set of easy listening music, and is highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Favorite for Forty Years, March 19, 2005

I have owned this album for forty years and have never tired of it. The sound effects are spectacular. You can almost feel the thunder rattling the windows and the sound of the rain falling can cool you on the hottest summer night. The music is perfectly blended into the sounds of the thunderstorm. Just delicious!

This CD is actually a reissue of an LP released in 1965. It was nearly 3 years in the making and many of the selections are original. The basis for this album is the recording of a freak summer thunderstorm over L. A. that raged from midnight to 4 A.M. in 1961. The number 1 track "A DREAM", was a very big hit on the easy listening radio stations around the country. Although we have had this LP since the late 1960s, I am considering purchasing the CD as well.
