I was looking for a flac download to "re-rip" my Rain Parade album so I wouldn't have to hunt the cd down, and found they were on bandcamp, with a deluxe edition of the cd I wanted. I'll just buy it again. Check it out. Cool sound for the 80s.

New #review: "At hand we have a reissue of #RainParade’s second full-length studio album, originally released in 1985. Crashing Dream was their move to a major label, as their debut was on an independent label. On its release, it was greeted with mixed reviews, and I remember thinking at the time that I felt it was not as good as their debut. But that was a long time ago, so it’s worth revisiting the music and giving it a fresh ear." #ExposeOnline #PsychedelicRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/rain-parade-crashing-dream-deluxe-2.html
