Priscilla,
You do a style and genre of music that uses atmosphere as an instrument and it's an important part. That can't be said about Country music or even Pop music where it just gets in the way.
There are always a few stellar examples where something can work when it rarely ever works otherwise. Just because a song from nearly 40 years ago used a rain sound effect to good success, doesn't mean that using rain at the start of a song for 30 seconds makes it a good song too. In some cases it simply makes a bad song even more intolerable. = )
Your stuff is all about mood and ethereal sounds. Your visual show supports that as well. It's expected in that case and you'd miss it if it wasn't there. But for most other styles/types/genres of music, it just doesn't work very often and just because once every couple generations a song pulls it off, it hardly suggests it's a good thing to do.
Brian
