An album I had when it first came out in 1984, and remember now and again is by the Greek musician Vangelis, who also composed the soundtracks for several films including 'Chariots of Fire'. 

It imagines the life stirring in the soil as a thunderstorm rages and water starts to drip and infiltrate the soil. 

The first movement is the best.

The other movements explore other aspects of life below the ground. Turn off the lights and listen to it with some good headphones on.
