Distracting Melody

"I own a number of Dr. Thompson's CDs. Recently I purchased Unwind, Breathe, and Thunderstorm. Thunderstorm is wonderful---soothing, realistic. But Unwind has melody tracks, thus my 2-star rating. For me, this is not only distracting, but I tire of listening to a melody over and over. If that doesn't bother you, the quality of the CDs is excellent. I've yet to come across one of these that isn't."
Totally disagree with other reviews

"there really isn't any "melody" on this CD... there are some improvised "vocalizations" (word-less singing), but to me it's totally unobtrustive. i'm a musician by trade and work on music all day long, and so i at first worried that this CD would defeat the purpose by giving my mind something to "analyze" or think about, instead of just relaxing. however, i find nothing distracting about any of the music... it's just kind of ambient mood music. it's not as synthesizer-oriented as some of jeffrey thompson's other stuff (i have his Brainwave Suite, Awakened Mind 2.0 and others). however, this is recorded very lushly and has a very full, relaxing sound. it's one of my favorites."
Not my style

"I usually find Thompson's CD's great for meditation. This one didn't do the trick. I just couldn't get into the music. However, I did find another CD, Breathe, much better simply because I enjoyed the music and don't mind listening to it over and over."
