Reflections is the ideal birthday gift for everyone!

Reflections, the tribute to Manos Hadjidakis album, that Raining Pleasure released on December 2004 is by far the best idea for a gift to your lover, your son, your daughter, your friends, your mum, dad, your ... ok, you got it!

That is why: the younger ones will love the idea of being introduced to the world of one great composer, whose sound is refreshed by the most popular english singing band in Greece and the elder ones, will be able to get to know the greatest band in Greece and maybe their other original albums as well, if they are curious enough.

My experience tells me that is a very tested and risk-free choice! Try it :)

The poll is back again...

Raining Pleasure new album update, part 2!

Another new song is on the way to the new -long anticipated- album of my favorite band!

It is an absolutely entertaining and refreshing guitar-pop track and it is called Tik Tik Tak (i don't know if this is the final title, though). A song that is destined to be a hit! :)

It is the kind of Raining Pleasure songs that make you play the (fuckin' easy to learn, actually) air guitar, homedance, sing along in the bathroom, the kitchen, the bed, during sex, in front of the telly, while watching your new favorite series; Prison Break (season 1, yet).... Ok, i think you got the point... :)

The presence of guitar and the lack of synthies seems to be refreshing in the sound of Raining Pleasure (for the time being, of course - bear in mind that i have listened to only a demo version, yet).

To cut a long story short, Tik Tik Tak is a guitar pure-pop hit that noone else (band or artist) in the greek music business can produce, without making himself sound ridiculously shallow. That's what i believe, anyway.

More on the new tracks, hope soon :)

Raining Pleasure new album update!

This is one of the most exciting seasons for being a Raining Pleasure fan - the time a new RP album is getting ready!!!!

I have listened about 5-6 songs so far.

Only one of it is yet finished; what you may call a proper song. It is called "Burn Down The Church" and it is a song that the band has played live, over the last few months.

I have already told you what i think about it (check here), haven't i?

Well, here is what i think about the direction of the new Raining Pleasure album: it is gonna kick out many asses! :) The guitars are rocking their guts out and the usual catchy melodic lines that are prominent in their discography, are still here.

The songs i have listened so far are just some rough ideas, not fully crafted songs, without lyrics, except from some vocals in a couple of parts. But, it is evident that Raining Pleasure are moving to a more guitarish sound. My guess? Their listenings have changed over the last two years and the fact that they may change a producer, as they did for Reflections album, is gonna result to a back to their roots (aka as in their live concerts) sound. That means little, or not at all, presence of synthies and a quite more straight-forward synthetic style.

It seems like my wish for a re-recording of Memory Comes Back [their debut album], maybe the most underestimated album of the band, is not gonna come true, not very soon, at least. You see, Memory Comes Back is their most "rock" album, but lacked a good quality sound. Now, it all seems that the new RP album is gonna be the proper rock "major" album they haven't done yet.

I am pretty anxious about this.

Vassilikos is guesting on the new Marsheaux album!

Vassilikos is doing vocals on the new Marsheaux album. The song Vassilikos appears on is called "PROMISE" (cover version of a song by "When in Rome") and it is a duet.

The album is called "Peek A Boo" and will be released on the 1st week of December.

The song is actually very very good, with a very catchy refrain and i can't wait to buy it! Nice work u did here Marsheuax girls!

:)
