The current upswing of interest in all things Hawaiian, in film and TV, and the marvelous nostalgia it creates, and the eternal and caressing sound of surf that mysteriously wanders about the vast world of water, is one of the most successful and enduring recordings we have ever made. It was music we had created for special product companies, and had never released ourselves. Even the sophisticated dean of music reviewers from the prestigious stereo review magazine, decided to give a quick listen to the type of music he might normally ignore, or pass over. He wrote. "sounding like the dance band in a tourist hotel at Waikiki Beach, this CD perfectly evokes my one carefree visit to hawaii. Perennial hits like Blue Hawaii, Lovely Hula Hands, and Aloha Oe are played at the right tempo for the box step or businessman's bounce. A bit square, a bit corny, and I love it." - William Livingstone, Stereo Review

Better have a good stereo.......2006-07-13
But the sound we were hearing in the background was surf! Go figure. When we put it in a better player...it sounded much better, but still a bit hokey.
Great Hawaiian songs and, also, a sound of nature CD.
Songs never come to a true end...they blend together by the sound of surf..which is kinda cool.
