Another cool track I’ve never heard of before! Looks like “All Those Eyes” is a non-album B-side, too, at least according to what I could find on Discogs…
Off to Amazon and eBay to see if I can dig up any of their albums! 🙂
Paul,
Any chance for the Generic Mix or Genetic Mix of Burning Rain (off the 12″ vinyl)?
This song is one of my favorite obscure 80’s gems. The drums in the original always reminded me of Killing Joke.
Thanks.
Chris
LOVE! Thanks Paul! 🙂
Hey Paul, I love New Wave/Synth Pop genre. Have not heard of this group before. Now i’m excited. Can’t wait to listen.
Stay well, Paul!
Gilbert
Hope you like it Gilbert 🙂
“Burning Flame” or “Burning Rain”?
“Burning Rain” excuse my typo 🙂
I have never heard of this band or the track but have downloaded it any way. I can only assume I was hypnotised by your awesome new logo!
Lol hope you enjoy the track Matt 🙂
OMG! I had NO IDEA there was an extended version of this. I can’t wait to get home and give this a spin. Thank you! It really is Christmas this week 🙂
You’re welcome Conner. You’re gonna love it 🙂
I have no doubt about it. I love the 7″ remix already 🙂
….and I love it 🙂 Thanks.
