Like you are right there ! Surround sound is great hearing the waves roll across the room !

Had previous cassette tape of surf sounds and needed same on a CD. Great for relaxing pre-sleep after stressfuls days (hurricane,economy,etc.)

I bought this for my kids something to go with quiet time ...it's very relaxing. Recording seems so real as if I am actually on the beach...Served the purpose of relaxation.

Great Cd for relaxation. Soft, repetitive surf sounds and wave action, no blaring foghorns.

Dan Gibson consistently mastered, if not invented the art of nature recordings. This is not a music CD. Mr. Gibson used a very sensitive directional microphone and sat still like a guru while nature spoke. Not so easy--think about how frequently planes fly over our heads. Yet, this is not another noisy, monotonous hissing ocean recording either. Throughout, it is consistently relaxing as well as rich with almost visual detail. It is not distracting for massage, meditation, relaxation, sleeping, etc. unless it is played too loudly. However, turn up the volume while hanging out at home and it can transform your landlocked condo into a beachfront bungalow.
