OUTSTANDING IMAGING! Weak thunder! by Joseph A. Nowak (West of the Mississippi)  3 Stars
May 31, 2008
This recording is the best I've heard as far as imaging is concerned. The thunder moves slowly from one side to the other... very precise! Close your eyes and you can pinpoint the sound of the thunder... exactly where it is at any moment... BUT the thunder sounds rather tinny. as if they used very cheap microphones to record the sound of the thunder seperately from the sound of the rain. I've seen more than my share of thunderstorms in my life... and this recording is only accurate in how the sound of the thunder moves... not what it sounds like. Thunder starts as a "crack" then trails off to very low frequency rumbling as it crosses the landscape. Not so in this recording. The crack is there at the outset... but trails off into rumbling that sounds more like a cheap sound effect from a 1960's sound effects recording. If you have a high-end sound system, you might be sorely disappointed in this recording

Do NOT get this for sleeping!! by Andrew P. (Hollywood CA, United States)  1 Stars
February 11, 2008
OK, I'm here at Amazon to get a new "Thunderstorm" CD/MP3 and have just now deleted my copy of "Electrifying Thunderstorms" and took a loss on the purchase. Here's the deal:
* - The quality is above average, but not great.
* - But heeeere's the clincher. About half-way through the almost hour-long 'Thunderstorm' you get the most obnoxiously LOUD ear-splitting crash of thunder you can imagine. Just like living in Tornado Alley, this baby crashes so loud it's woken me up for nights; to the point where I purposely GOT UP and shut it off. This crash of thunder is a real Linda Blair moment, if you know what I mean. I thought I'd give it a chance, and finally, FINALLY gave up on this CD just due to this particular Thunder-From-Hell moment.
Now of course in real life, when thunder hits right over your home, this is what you would hear. But c'mon. That's the beauty of Mother Nature. But that's REAL LIFE. And that's OK. But to buy a CD with the same ear-splitting over-the-house thunder crash is not what we buy these CDs for.
Just thought I'd share my thoughts. I'll sleep to the amazing "Mountain Stream" by "Natural Sounds" that I just downloaded for $0.99 cents. The quality is one of the best digital recordings I've ever heard, where every drop of water is waaaaay better than the numerous "white noise" wannabe so-called "rain recordings"... trust me.

Excellent by James R. Sudduth  5 Stars

I love going to sleep to the sound of thunderestorms and for quite a while I have been trying to find that WITHOUT someones music interferring with the sound of the storm. This is it!

Electrified Relaxation by Paula Collier (Columbus, Ohio United States) 5 Stars
May 14, 2007
This CD is great to fall asleep to, or just relax and read to. You get all the powerful sounds of a storm, without the worry of losing your electricity or flooding! It's a wonderful relaxation/sleep tool!

Not for relaxation by dltstl (Oakland, CA United States)  2 Stars
November 18, 2001
I bought this for relaxation, but found that I am basically unable to listen to it. There are some nice periods of rolling thunder or gentle rain, but just as you start to relax you are jolted from your seat by an incredibly loud explosion of thunder. This CD actually RAISES my stress levels.
