Rain Parade - Crashing dream (1985)

"Crashing Dream, Rain Parade's major label debut, has one simply beautiful song ("Depending on You"). Another ("Mystic Green") sounds uncannily like the Records, while "Don't Feel Bad" hybridizes two Beatles songs (you figure out which ones). The album is attractive but flimsy--competent technique in search of a spine and a direction. In other words, it sounds like the work of a band on the verge of breaking up--which, in fact, Rain Parade did not long after the album's release." Mazzy Star
This was my first RAIN PARADE album, I bought it back in 1986 after it was voted 'Album of the month' in the German MusikExpress magazine. Great songs, great sound, and it's a shame that it has never been released on CD. This is the vinyl version (I once also had the official MC version, but it's slurring so heavily that you don't really want to listen to it ;-)
