And we’re off… The first of the Voice Of The Rain reissues with the remainder to follow at a pace once the Gits CD is finished off.
Voice Of The Rain
A duo. 1986 to 1987 and 1992 to 1998 with a slight return 2015.
Voice Of The Rain – Further Afield
Another VTOR blast from the past, 1998′s Further Afield, or at least the first half as the whole thing became a bit unwieldy as a download.
It’s a pretty high-tech recording for this one, we had a compressor! And a pop shield, admittedly tights over a wire coat hanger, but all the same. Actually the lack of gear is why a lot of the recordings brush up quite well. We didn’t have the kit to bugger them up at the time.
If anyone wondered why we use the script font for the booklet it’s as it’s based on Walt Whitman’s handwriting, which ties in rather well.
Voice Of The Rain – This Idiot Glitter (1993)
The remake of the 1987 song that begat the eponymous band.
Voice Of The Rain – Reign
The next Voice Of The Rain remaster, this time Reign from 1993. Or at least the first half as though it worked as two sides of a cassette it was a bit much as a single download. Includes tunes!
Photographs In The Springtime
I had a tweak of some covers from 1993’s Other People’s Songs.
Kevin Coyne’s ‘I’ve Got The Photographs’.
The Indigo Girls’ ‘Southland In The Springtime’
Voice Of The Rain – Catherine Wheel
Almost topical, if metaphorical.
Though actually a simile, oh silly me.
Coming soon, stay tuned.
Voice Of The Rain – Pokeweed Wormfence
Wait, there’s more!
Voice Of The Rain – No Way Out But Through
Originally from 1994 here’s the latest Voice Of The Rain reissue. It was recorded in a bit of a hurry even for us which shows a bit.
Voice Of The Rain – Tommy & Brenda
A higher resolution version of a video first done in 2009 with remastered audio from the release of the A Field Further album on Bandcamp.
Voice Of The Rain – A Field Further
The last VTOR album, here in reissued form. Not so much remastered as mastered for the first time.
