Music : Sounds of the Earth: Rain in Country

Rating: - About of bass soud
I want to clarify a little more the subject of low-frequency sound that possesses this CD. In principle, it tested a CD Player SACD, pre MLevinson 380s, Class A valve amp and speakers JMLab. The repetition of the defect becomes irritating as the brain detects the problem and thus renders ineffective the recording for the purpose you want to meet. If you do not listen to the top, up the control of a bass -an audiophile would not do this- and may notice the mistake of recording. I do not recommend it, then buy it, obviously.

Rating: - Razah's "Rain" shows nothing but promise for me.
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 that he's caught on the way he has on youtube. over 200,000 views!!

Rating: - Peaceful rain sound
This entire c.d. is gentle rain, sometimes a little harder, sometimes a little softer. Since I love the sound of rain, I play this c.d. when I have trouble getting to sleep. It always relaxes me and I find it does lull me to sleep.

Rating: - No looping!
The house next door was rented to partying college students! Desperate, I tried several rain CDs before landing on this one. The cheaper CDs had 30 second or two minute loops, which I found to be very distracting; often with a click as the loop repeats. Another CD I tried had birds and other things going on. This one was rain -- just rain -- and non-repeating. The volume does fluctuate as the rain gets heavier and lighter. I don't hear the low-frequency rumble another reviewer complained of, probably because I am playing it on a $100 ministereo system bought in haste at the same time. I found this CD to be invaluable.

Rating: - This is THE rain record.
As other reviewers have written, this CD contains only the gentle sound of rain. No music. No Birds. No electronic enhancement by a misguided record producer. Nothing to distract. Just the relaxing, sleep-inducing sound of rain.

When I awaken in the night and have trouble falling back to sleep, I put this in my bedside CD player and let it run. The white-noise effect is perfect for encouraging deep sleep. Might be some genetic carryover from our ancient ancestors.

Another reviewer complained about being able to detect the repeating rain segment. However, I tried to hear it, but failed. Perhaps I fell asleep too soon?

I had purchased other rain and ocean surf CDs. This pure rain CD is the best.
