Album Description

The sounds for this series were recorded in 3D by Chuck Plaisance. His recording system is designed to simulate human hearing, using a binaural head microphone to capture depth, height, width, as well as directional movement. No special equipment is needed to get 3D sound from traditional stereo speakers. In fact, these albums will make your system - speakers or headphones - sound like it never has before. You are the experience.

All pieces contain compositions of pure Nature Sounds produced, arranged, edited and mastered by Chuck Plaisance and Suzanne Doucet. (aka Virtual Audio Environment).

Perfect To Fall Asleep To.......2006-07-20

I bought this CD because I didn't really know which type of sound I'd relax most too be it ocean, rain, forest, etc. Well I love all the sounds on this sampler, and I play it every night. My hubby says that 20 mins into the CD there's a rooster crowing, but I wouldn't know because by that time I'm already fast asleep. Great stuff!

3-Dimensional Pure Nature Sounds.......2005-11-21

This excellent compilation of 20 different Nature Sound albums was out of print, but is now finally available again through ONLY NEW AGE MUSIC(repackaged and remastered). This album creates a journey through different Nature scenes all recorded by Chuck Plaisance, with a special microphone that simulates human hearing. The sounds were then edited and composed, arranged and mixed like an orchestrated piece but still remain pure Sounds of Nature. Like Bernie Krause Doucet and Plaisance take essential Nature Sounds and recreate an ambience that takes you even deeper into the essence of Nature.

One Deep Album.......2006-11-03

Ocean Beach took me a number of play throughs to catch on to it. But now that I have gone rounds with this album I have realized that it has been quite a long time since I have taken it out of my car collection.

I used to work with Mark at a San Francisco Hotel.......2005-12-03

I was with Mark when he played for 4AD at a club in San Francisco, CA. We worked a hotel job together to make ends meet. He's a wonderful guy who I've lost track of over the past 12 or so years. But, the first album is really magic and it comes from his heart. Mark is a real talent, as was his band.

patience needed.......2004-10-04

I was really looking forward to listening this record. I'd never had anything from RHP before and I looking at the reviews I thought I found a new favorite. Well, actually it turned out a bit too arty for my taste. There are songs that are way too long on this album, they sometimes become a bit too repetitious. The voice of Kozelek is fine, though. Sounds like Duncan Sheik a bit - some of the songs even resemble Sheik's "ballads" musically. But, on the whole, if you consider that "Ocean Beach" consists only of slow songs (that must be a trademark of the band), they're simply not that heavenly breathtaking. Experimental, creative music, but I think one that's hard to really adore.

The quintessential RHP album.......2003-06-21

Sometimes you wonder just how on earth Mark Kozelek can continue to come out with songs of such raw emotional intensity. No other songwriter is able to detail pain and loss in the way Kozelek does. This was evdient even on the band's debut lp Down Colourful Hill - songs like "Medicine Bottle" and "Michael".

Perhaps what is most interesting about Ocean Beach is that it is almost entirely a Kozelek project. Granted a few of the songs employ a full band - but mostly its sparse, lonely acoustic guitar and piano. Yet this is what makes Ocean Beach so stunning - its ability to draw you deep into Kozelek's world. "Summer dress" and "Shadows" are probably the highlights, both are just Kozelek on vocals with accompanying guitar and piano. As one would expect, most songs pack a punch with its honesty and beauty. Try listening to "drop" without feeling something tingling up your spine.

I could say a lot of things, but tt the end of the day, Ocean Beach is a great album. Its music at its most intense and emotional, yet still remaining simple and unoffensive in its delivery. A classic.

The last 4AD album shows evolution and confidence.......2003-02-26

Red House Painters released their fourth album OCEAN BEACH in 1995. Their last for the influential British record label 4AD, the album displays a bit of creative evolution while retaining and in fact epitomising everything that there is to like about Red House Painters' work.

Frontman Mark Kozelek was previously nervous about vocals; the singing on earlier RHP records is characterised by shyness and heavy use of reverb. This is still true on "Brockwell Park" and "Moments", but by the time OCEAN BEACH was recorded, Kozelek was feeling more confident and some tracks here feature vocals that are suprisingly up front. Kozelek was also moving towards a more electric sound, a change which ultimately led to the band's dismissal from 4AD and subsequent loss of members, and "San Geronimo" features suprising aggression while remaining recognisable as RHP. "Summer Dress", arguably the most moving song of OCEAN BEACH, features string orchestration which intensifies the melancholy for which RHP's genre was given the label "sadcore."

The most underappreciated aspect of Red House Painters was Anthony Koutsos's drumming. Though he always resisted the temptation to showboat or speed things up, he provided a rhythmic base without which none of the band's magic would have been possible. The percussion on the opening instrumental "Cabezon" and the album's transcendently beautiful closing track "Drop" is excellent.

Fans of His Name is Alive may enjoy the album, as Warren Defever plays a hidden track after "Drop" just like Kozelek was a guest on HNIA's 1996 album STARS ON E.S.P.

If you've never heard the music of Red House Painters before, I'd recommend RETROSPECTIVE, which collects the best of their 4AD-era output with live rarities and demos. OCEAN BEACH may be the best next stop for people enchanted by the band.

Customer Reviews:

Finally........2006-03-14

I suffered through the Rykodisc recordings because I'm a sucker for all-things Cape, and had given up hope at finding true Cape Cod sounds. However, this one delivers. The beach at Chatham Light is one of the best in the country, and it has it's own unique sound. This cd is the audio version of what I've always known visually. Looking forward to more in this series, maybe Cape Cod Bay?

San Francisco is a creative crossroads for everything from hardcore punk to acid jazz, but perhaps no music so deftly charts the Northern California coastal landscape as the expressionistic folk made by songwriter Mark Kozelek and his Bay-area band, Red House Painters. While consistently slow and acoustic-based, the music squeezes an entire spectrum of colors out of its micro-style. On the instrumental opener "Cabezon," the hue is blissfully sunny and swaying to the shuffle of brushes and picked nylon-strings. On "Red Carpet," the addition of bottom-heavy bass and a guitar noise backdrop casts an ominous pall over the same basic formula. Meanwhile, the more upbeat and hook-driven shade of "San Geromino" makes for thoroughly majestic rock. Sometimes melancholic, sometimes dramatic, Ocean Beach sounds musically united. If for no other reason, though, Red House Painters is worth celebrating because its roots lie in the much-appreciated but rarely drawn-upon beauty of Simon and Garfunkel. Hearing the bouncing bass-lines, plucked guitar intervals, and peaking harmonies of "Over My Head," you just can't help feelin' groovy, and with the unrelenting stillness of "Summer Dress" and "Drop," we bask in the sounds of silence. --Roni Sarig

Customer Reviews:

Wonderful Compilation.......1999-11-27

I found a radio station on the web called The Breeze (Beach, Boogie and Blues) which is WWBZ broadcasting out of Charleston, S.C. What I discovered is a whole genre' of music devoted to Southern Atlantic beach music. It seems to revolve around a dance from the 60's called The Shag. This is not to be confused with the term 'shag' as used in the Austin Power's movie, but a style of dance.

The Shag is a very developed dance form from the 60's that kids danced basically on the beach. People have kept the style in going all these years. Finger Poppin' Time is one compilation of this type of music. It is based in R&B and blues, but adds a definite swing type style. I enjoyed this CD and recommend it for those investigating The Shag and beach, boogie and blue music.
