5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best: Thundering Rainstorm without Music, June 28, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Thundering Rainstorm (Audio CD)

This doesn't contain music enhancement which is a PLUS (in my opinion) for those who prefer non-music enhanced nature sounds.

A fast summary would have to be: a great price, NOT enhanced with music (a definite PLUS for those preferring nature sounds only), 60 minutes and 13 seconds long, authentic to the point where I have to grudgingly admit this one now takes first place in my Thundering Rainstorm collection.

I was surprised to read the review where the sounds of a bird are mentioned, because I had listend to the CD over and over yet had not noticed it! I listened again and found yes, the reviewer is correct and normally that noise being present in a Thunderstorm recording would be annoying to me but the way it's done in this CD I don't find it annoying, in fact I hadn't noticed it. Guess it all depends on the individual reaction.

Longer Summary: If you're looking for a Thundering Rainstorm that happens to be primarily heavy rain interspersed with a perfect balance of ranges of rain (just like a good thunderstorm) plus rolling and heavy thunder also realistically balanced,without music enhancement, you cannot go wrong with selecting this CD. I noticed it at the site a while ago but kept thinking "you get what you pay for" (extremely reasonable price), then, based on other reviews, decided to try it and I'm so glad to have purchased this CD. The rain sounds ebb and flow from heavy to light, from sprinkling to pouring, even with authentic touches such as the rain tapering off so accurately you find yourself listening to that slight "tapping" raindrops make on the raingutters as they slide down them AND, again, it's perfectly balanced because the "tapping" is not overdone, either. It's so diffcult to find thundering rainstorms without musical enhancement that are done well, this is a gem. Sometimes, once in awhile, a product comes along that offers far more than the price would generally indicate. A great product at an outstanding value. The best recording I have ever heard of a progressive thundering rainstorm. I'm considering purchasing another one just because of the great productions values combined with the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars the best Thunder/Rainstorms with no music, July 10, 2004

I have about 5 CD thunder and rain only - no music - and I love this one best of all. I am a storm freak. There is nothing more soothing, more refreshing. To listen to rain on a tin roof or up in the hayloft, hear the thunder roll was something I adored. I could never grow tired of it. Some CD just don't capture the true sound. This one does. Thunderstorm in the Wilderness is very good, but this one is so much more real.

You hear rain on pavement, rising and falling. Sometimes is a nice soft pattern, other times near deafening downpour. The tree frogs chirping. Then lightning strikes and the thunder comes. Sometimes close, sometimes in the distance.

Just like opening the windows and listening to a good storm. So if you cannot spend the day lazying in the hayloft, this is the next best thing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Peaceful sleep from now on, August 27, 2002

Since the day that our CD arrived we have used it to fall asleep and stay asleep (we use the repeat on the CD player). The other reviews definitely helped me make my decision to buy this CD, I was sceptical because of the low price but so happy now with the result. There is no annoying music to distract you from the wonderful sound of falling rain and rumbling thunder. It also helps to drown out the TV that our upstairs neighbors listen to ALL night.
