Notes :
Elcka were a UK indie rock band, active during the 1990's. Their line-up comprised Harrold (vocals), Marcus-Sanford Casey (guitar), Rhodes (bass), Matt Barker (keyboards) and Darren Berry (drums). Their sound is losely influenced by the iconic, Brit-centric lineage of Art-School rock. Their first (and, for some time, considered only) album, Rubbernecking, was released in 1997. It generated three singles - Look At You Now, Supercharged and Nothing to Lose. The band also released a number of EP's (including: Boho Bird; Leather Lips and Games We Play). The band toured this album extensively - including as sole support across the USA, Europe and Scandinavia for Morrissey on his 'Maladjusted' tour.

The Rainkings - Get Ready

Manchester's Rainkings featured members who had previously been involved with other well-known groups. Stephen Holt was the original vocalist in the Inspiral Carpets, having joined when the group formed in 1985. Bassist David Swift joined the Inspirals a year later, around the same time as Clint Boon. Both can be heard on the first two singles, the 'Plane Crash EP' (released by Playtime in 1988) and the 'Trainsurfing EP', which was delayed until March 1989 and then released on the band's own Cow label. In addition, the 11 track demo tape 'Dung 4' which was made available commercially also features the duo. Holt and Swift both left the band in 1988. With new recruits Tom Hingley (vocals) and bass player Martyn 'Bungle' Walsh, the group went on to enjoy a degree of success.
John Rowland was previously a member of Eighties indie janglers The Bodines. The Rainkings released two fine singles on the Playtime label in 1989 / 90, before disappearing from view. Although they continued to exist until 1997, undergoing a couple of lineup changes, sadly there were no further releases.

Midi Rain - Always

MIDI RAIN
Always
1991 Vinyl Solution

At some point in the late 1980's/early 1990's when acid house and rave music took over the UK as a storm, synth-pop fans had the delight to hear some of their favorite artists going towards more wild, fresh and experimental territories, crossing white synth-pop music and voices with the thrills of devastating acid and euphoric house. Some of these trans-genre mutants would become acid, rave and balearic classics (i'm thinking here of the Beloved's "Acid Love (Love & Ecstasy Mix)", Paul Rutherford's "Get Real - Happy House mix", New Order's "Round & Round (Kevin Saunderson remix)", Cabaret Voltaire's "Hypnotized", John Rocca's "Move" or even Depeche Mode's "Strangelove (Hijack mix by Tim Simenon)", among others). Phat beats, nasty acid lines over white soulful newwave singers, hypnotic voice cut-ups and effects, moody futuristic synth pads, longer rave-friendly versions : a new form of (synth) pop was born here, marrying proper song structures with the raveolutionnary "air du temps" and perfectly illustrating rave's "unity" aesthetics by musically marrying two scenes. Well, among all these beauties, the "Club Vocal Mix" of "Always" by Midi Rain (another John Rocca project) is perhaps the most outstanding and daring, with mad echoes all around, soulful angelic voice, drugged-up blurry sometimes almost cartoonesque production sounding like an E'd up manga full of panache, and a dramatic progressive construction that give the dancer this energy rush and love thrill which only great rave moments provide. This song mixes craziness, euphoria, feelings of hope and a certain melancholy, and in my opinion is a perfect testimony to that period's state of mind. In my book, a masterpiece.
