oddly enough the sunny day real estate song "Oceans" has no ocean sounds in it

74. Tally Hall - Hidden In The Sand

75. Mull Historical Society - Paper Houses



This popped up on shuffle when I was actually on the beach so I had to stop it and check that I wasn't hearing real waves.
(m4a is all I have at hand)

^good songs

76. Underground Resistance - Big Stone Lake



Don't think I've listened to anything this year as much as I have this. One of the most beautiful and perfect songs I've ever heard.

77. Husker Du - Standing by the Sea

78. The Aliens - Everyone

so here's a song by The Rheostatics, Canada's best kept secret... this song doesn't have ocean sounds. but the whole tune is about the deep ocean and beaches and stuff, plus the background singing and guitar tones sound very oceanic. also want to point out that these guys used the word "californication" about ten years before the Chili Peppers did...


79. The Rheostatics - California Dreamline

Simakos, think of this thread as a shelter. It provides refuge for pedants, obsessive compulsives and a wide cross-section of the autistic spectrum. Here we can escape the unpredictability and general lawlessness that persist outside.


Your maverick rule breaking and inability to adhere to clearly established criteria do not sit well in here. I’m vexed. God only knows how Undo will feel about all this.

I wouldn't have been able to sleep until I found the real #....

79. Mr Scruff - Ahoy There!

I appreciate this but unfortunately Bruegel is right.

You've gotta have something on this shelf that would work.

Riders On the Storm

80. Air France - Beach Party

↑Nice. Im pretty sure there is another Air France song with ocean sounds but I cant find it at the moment.

They are positively throwing themselves at me at the moment. This one came to me in a dream....


81. All About Eve - Martha's Harbour




I give you not only ocean sounds but three minutes of labored nautical metaphors.

I don’t know why this didn’t occur to me earlier. Forgive me land of my fathers...

82. John Cale - Emily

83. People Under The Stairs - The Wiz

84. Ernie - I Don't Want to Live on the Moon

85. Mike Monday - I Am Plankton

I've thought of another BSP song if you want that Undo?

86. Cornelius--"Smoke"

Did someone already post Cornelius - Drop?

Edit: Well, I guess a drop dripping doesn't qualify for "ocean sound".

Yeah, I felt almost silly typing "Smoke."

Meanwhile, yay! That's three! Three remaining Cornelius fans. Welcome, torb.

Can't believe I didn't think of this one before:

87. The Small Faces - "Lazy Sunday"


Close my eyes and drift away...

88. Aidan Moffat & The Best-Ofs -
"A Scenic Route To The Isle Of Ewe"

Let's hear it!

89. The Arcade Fire - Haiti

I didn't realize we were scarce! Yay right back at you. These guys are so awesome live it's just awesome. Someone already did Avalanches, right?

90. Neu! - Für Immer / Spitzenqualität

91. Efdemin - Acid Bells (Martyns Bittersweet Mix)

92. DJ Kaos - Love the Nite Away (Tiedye Mix)

Don't give up, you're almost there.

arcade fire: my heart is an apple


and this little picture....

93. World's End Girlfriend - Purple Orange Me

94. John Daly - Atlantis (Deep Sea Dub)

95. Es - Kesamaan Lapset




If the anticipation becomes too much for you to bear, things go coastal around the 10 minute mark.

96. Baaba Maal - Jamma Jenngii



I think it’s fitting that this song is appearing so late in the piece as I’ve always associated it with that strange mixture of joyful accomplishment a reflective sorrow that characterise the completion of a treasured endeavor.

97. Banjo or Freakout - Upside Down

98. Röyksopp - Poor Leno (not my link)

best son gin the thread

99. Emeralds - Passing Away

I just got this CD from the library



more than 30 songs but none of them actually used any sounds from the beach or much of anything else other than normal instruments.

Is this really almost over, holy shit.

100. The Beach Boys - Diamond Head

I was so far ahead of this trend but try as I did, I could never quite pin it down like Mark Richardson does here.

oh damn you guys finished. great job. I just happened to hear another of these which you can download here
Aphex Twin-Ageispolis

Just looking over this thread for the first time really. Such a great effort.

Rob Gordon is otm as ever. Some dedicated dude needs to make a .rar of all these tunes, what a five disc playlist that would be, probably wouldn't leave the stereo in my whip for months, especially when the unseasonably beaut weather hits in March.
