Product Description: A warm, reflective paean to North American temperate rainforests, Forest Rain from flautist-keyboardist Dean Evenson stands as one musician's interpretive soundtrack of the moods, subtleties, and cycles inherent in the few remaining stands of such forests. Recorded in 1993, a few of Evenson's synthesizer textures may sound faintly dated (appearing a bit too shiny in places), but this is a minor distraction in an otherwise well-executed recording notable for its sense of calm and its elevated degree of musicianship. More than tree-huggers playing simplistic melodies, Evenson and company (d'Rachel and wife Dudley Evenson on harp, Jonathan Kramer on cello) create gentle atmospheres (some with keyboards, some without) that eschew overt melodicism in favor of evocative soundscapes that capture the quiet majesty of grand trees. Highlights: Evenson's softly searching flute passages in the 10-minute "Deep Forest"; the glowing, Suzanne Ciani-like "Branching Out"; and the closer, "Prayer for the Ancient Trees," featuring the drumming and chants of a Lummi Nation member. The disc's attractive packaging includes an educational insert outlining the benefits humans derive from a healthy temperate rainforest. --Terry Wood

5 stars You can't go another day without it...
This is one of Dean Evenson's best albums. If you want to play music while performing energy work, meditation, or just to relax...this music will help. I recommend this CD highly, I listen to it a lot. The flute will just take you away. But of course, how can you go wrong with any of Dean's music? Happy Healing.


5 stars So soothing, calming, a sense of peaceful joy!
I bought this CD about 5 years ago and still have it and play it for my clients. I can't tell you how many times I have them ask who's cd this is and special requests to have this cd playing while I do their spa service! I enjoy and get such a sense of happiness and calm from it that I even play it before I go to sleep at night sometimes. This is a must have if you are looking for a special cd to create atmosphere, happiness, serenity fro yourself and your spa clients!!! LOVE IT!


5 stars Forest Rain: Beautiful, relaxing music
Dean Evenson is a very interesting person. After earning a Master's Degee in the 60's in molecular biology, he decided to follow his other interests of art and music. We all won out on that decision. I have heard several of Dean's albums and so far, this is my very favorite.

Dean uses his music to promote knowledge and reverence for the Earth. He incorporates ambient sounds of nature and the voices and music of the people indigenous to the area. This CD includes recordings of rain falling in the rainforest. These, along with the native and silver flutes, keyboards, harp (by his wife Dudley Evenson) and other musicians combine to make a beautiful sound.

The music is uplifting and restful.


5 stars Beautiful nature music that will lull you to dreams.
I bought this CD years ago, and its one of the few that I've had for so long. This is new age at its best. The music is so calming, and so peaceful, and will put you at ease and to rest quietly and quickly. I know you can find lots of 'nature sounds' CDs out there, but nothing I have encountered compares to this one. Dean Evenson is the best, and I would highly recommend this as well as 'Ocean Dreams.' He is the master at his task, and while I have lots of other New Age CDs, this one is a genuine favorite.


5 stars Absolutely beautiful and calming
this is one ofthe best i have ever heard for nature-type new age music. some gentle rain, flutes, and other instruments. it expresses the gentle beauty and mustique of the forest. i reccommend it to anyone! it's also very relaxing for me and the flow of the music is very pleasing. enjoy!
