Tuesday:

BJ Thomas? BW Thomas? One of those..I suppose I could google it...nahhhhhh...enjoy your rain : )

Tuesday: and I take credit for breaking the draught here by repeatedly playing "Riders on the Storm" followed by "Riding the Storm Out" ...may be just a coincidence, but I don't think so

ok, a few more legitimate ones:
"Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" Willie Nelson, "Another Rainy Night" Queensyrche
"Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head"...not sure the artist...but it's from Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid...for some reason all I can think of is who wrote it, Burt Bacharach (sp?)

"Still Rainin'" Jonny Lang,
"Love Reign(Rain) O'er Me" The who
ok, that last one is really reaching, but sounds like rain ; )

The Brand New issue of one of the most important music magazines for the Dark Wave / Electro / Neo-Folk and Gothic scenes. Issue 40 celebrates the 10th Anniversary of the magazine, and is fully packed with interviews and articles across its 88 pages with featired artists including Lambwool, Die Krupps, Gae Bolg, Eva O, Siderartica, Project Pitchfork, Corvus Corax, Client, Blind Passengers, Melotron, Kutna Hora, Echo West, The Eternal Afflict, Qntal, Vidna Obmana and many others. Elsewhere there are extended features and reviews on albums, films, books, live reviews and much, much more.

After a wait of nearly three years - released at last, the long awaited Brand New album from The Frozen Autumn. "Is Anybody There?" presents 10 brand new tracks including contributions from both Ronny Moorings ( CLAN OF XYMOX ) and Sven Wolff ( DUST OF BASEMENT ) with each remixing a new TFA track ( "Ashes" and "Polar Plateau" respectively ). From a stylistic perspective "Is Anybody There?" oscillates sonically between their albums "Emotional Screening Device" and "Pale Awakening" with gothic tenderness giving way to fragile exquisite melodies, deft electro acoustics and beguiling arrangements.

From their inception, Negative Format have pushed the boundaries of the electronic music scene. Blending their earlier Electro / EBM influences with their current interests in various styles of Techno and Trance, Negative Format have developed a sound that is truly their own. "Moving Past The Boundaries", will blow your mind ( and speakers ! ) with its explosive mixture of hard electro beats, driving melodic sequences and powerful spheric rhythms.

After a break of nearly two years Out Of Line electro specialists Decoded Feedback return with possibly their most cohesive album ever. "Combustion" sees DF's machinery of destruction once again set in motion - a distrorted clamour of powered-up electronic anthems powering through 12 purging electro assaults. Hardfloor, U.S. Dance / Industrial, Breakbeats and hard, caustic EBM mingle to an unstoppable electro groove set to devastate all in its path : a mutated, destructive, electro avalanche set to unite fans of Hocico and Skinny Puppy, Suicide Commando and Ministry. "Combustion" also includes a cover of the classic Mentallo & the Fixer track "Sacrilege" and a video for the potential hit-song "Hyberia".

Pure quality : Almost two years after the European release of their last hit album "Awakening", US electro-pop sensations Iris return with their eagerly awaited third regular studio album "Wrath". With ten, simply stunning electro / synthpop hymns - that set new standards in melodic, expressive and uptempop electronic songs, Iris proove that they are operating on another level altogether. "Wrath" is simply a masterpiece of electronic pop music, updating and building upon the glories of its predecessors "Disconnect", "Reconnect" and "Awakening". With powerful, unstoppable and ultra-catchy songs such as "No One Else To Lose", "Appetite", "Hell's Coming With Me" and "Guide On Raging Stars" there are at least 4 potential hit-singles on this album and make "Wrath" an absolute MUST HAVE for all fans of Mesh, Camouflage, Depeche Mode etc...

At last, REGENERATOR resurfaces with their highly anticipated 7th full-length cd, "Disease". Inspired by both personal and universal experiences, "Disease" is an emotionally charged album, charting new territories into foreboding atmospheres and pulsating rhythms of epidemic proportions. With the release of "Disease", REGENERATOR sharply focuses on animal consumption and its affect on human health. The duo doesn't want to "push" such issues on anyone, they only wish to make the facts known and to let you decide for your own… Dancefloor hits like "Organism", "Death", "Apnea" and "Airbourne" will immediately contaminate the club-goers while slower and deeper moments will conquer the darker souls amongst us reaching new emotional heights on the title-song "Disease" (a must for all fans of the good old THE CURE late 80’s era!), the somber video for "Terrible Love" (directed by Ezequiel - core member of Broken Pictures - formerly Burning Glass Pictures) and the old classic cover of "Don't Fear The Reaper".

The Brand New album from Rhys Fulber's ( Delerium, Front Line Assembly etc ) Conjure One project. Having built a strong worldwide fan base with his awesome debut - solo self titled album ( Released in 2003 ), Fulber returns in August with a brand new album entitled "Extraordinary Ways". As with his debut, "Extraordinary Ways" features vocal performances by several female singers while musically it is a blend of lush synth textures, atmospheric, haunting melodies and driving electronic rhythms. However, whereas the first album drew its principal inspiration from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern musics, Fulber explains that "these songs are more about life and experiences this time, rather than visions and landscapes. "Conjure One" was more of a Middle Eastern travelogue, while "Extraordinary Ways" is more of an internal journey". For the first time in his career, the new album sees Fulber on vocal duties, delivering a unique modern take on the oft-neglected Buzzcocks classic "I Believe". Two singers from the first Conjure One album also return in the form of Poe ( on tracks "Endless Dream", "One Word" and "Extraordinary Way" ) and Chemda Kalili ( on the track "Forever Lost" ), while new vocalist collaborators are Tiff Lacey ( on "Face The Music" ) and Joanna Stevens ( on "Dying Light" ). The London based composer Chris Elliott also returns to assist with string arrangements.
