BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1987
-DjPaulT Recommended 12″
“Burning Rain” is a 1987 New Wave single by British duo Crazy House consisting of David Luckhurst and Peter Parsons. The single was produced by Steve Nye who has worked with artists such as Japan, Bryan ferry, Penguin Cafe Orchestra, and XTC. “Burning Rain” peaked at #43 on April 2, 1988, after spending three weeks on the U.S. Billboard Dance Chart.
In 1989 the band changed their name to Shrine Of Eight and re-released “Burning rain” as “Perfect Crime” which I posted in 2013 you can find it here. Pretty sure the “The Islamix” is the same as the “Generic Mix” on Side A of the “Burning Rain” 12″.

MUCHAS GRACIASS
ecxelente como siempre.
BEST DAY EVER! I didn’t know this existed and can’t wait to get it downloaded. Thank you!
Conner, you must love this song because you also commented when I posted Shrine Of eight “Perfect Crime”. So happy it made your day 🙂
I do love it. It was an important song for me. I actually found the Shrine of 8 3″ cd after you posted it. Thanks for continuing to show us all the great things that are out there.
“Gance Music” is my favorite Genre on the Billboard Charts 😘
Fascinating story about the changing of band name and song name. Does not seem to have helped, unfortunately. Although the band name does not ring a bell I recognized the sleeve of the accompanying album Still Looking For Heaven On Earth, funnily enough.
I like Burning Rain and its mixes but I LOVE the b-side Garden Of Luck, a non-album track. Have to listen to it again and again.
Great songs, Paul. Thank you for (re-) introducing the a-side to us.

I love the b-side track to Song And Dance 🙂
Absolutely fabulous Paul!! I love Crazy House and this single just blows me away. The remixes are brilliant. Just discovered that you already posted a re-release. I didn’t have a clue the band changed their name and even changed the title of the song. The rip was available here on BTG during all this time and I didn’t notice. Gonna have to check all the posts maybe there are still some hidden treasures waiting to be discovered… Paul you really did it to me this week. How can I ask for more. I’m so grateful to you words can’t express.… Read more »
The band changing their name may have contributed to their lack of success however this song is really underrated. The band released three albums starting in 1982 but only two singles. I hope you have a terrific weekend 🙂
Thank goodness for you Paul and Burning The Ground! I just love the music here. And, it’s not just the things I know, but all of the rare stuff you are giving a “second spin” to. Like this track. So looking forward to hearing this one. I have seriously loved this week because of the audio exposure you’ve provided me of tracks I don’t know much about.
Have a fantastic weekend Paul and everybody here on BTG!!
Jeff
I hope you love this one Jeff. Also check out the Shrine Of Eight post too which I linked to above. Have a great weekend 🙂
