Title: Dan Gibson – Ocean Surf: A Surround Sound Experience (1995) [Reissue 2005]
Genre: Ambient, New Age
Format: MCH SACD ISO

The Ocean Surf: A Surround Sound Experience SACD by Solitudes will completely transform any living space into a spectacular seashore. Specially designed and produced for SACD, but playable on any standard CD player, you will experience 64 times the clarity, depth, and audio resolution of a traditional CD. And featuring true 5.1 high-resolution surround sound, this Solitudes Ocean Surf SACD offers an audio experience like no other. It really is the next best thing to being there.
Too many releases in the relaxation/environmental market feel compelled to accompany their nature recordings with beds of flutes, oozing synths, or chattering forest animals. Luckily Dan Gibson takes the opposite approach. His Ocean Surf is exactly that, a 70-minute-plus track featuring nothing but pristinely recorded surf, tide, and whitecaps. There’s natural ebb and flow here as Gibson captures not only the cascading majesty of the sea, but its quiet, lapping moments as well. Unencumbered by ethnic-music tinkering or new age formula, the solitary Ocean Surf is great for relaxation, meditation, and introspection.
