Rain, Norway's most well-kept secret -- well, not anymore. After the first release of Rain's Norsk Suite (SHAD 147CD), we all know how good this band sounds. Very much like Frank Zappa And The Mothers, Rain's complex compositions are based on the skills of modern classic composers such as Varèse and Stravinsky. As a strong influence they've also mentioned Vanilla Fudge. Rain was Carl Jorgen Kionig (drums, percussion), Knut Heljar Hagen (organ, synthesizers, vocals), and Asmund Feidje (guitar, vocals). Make the Day Break was recorded live in a studio in 1974. After Norsk Suite, the music of this album takes you a step further with highly-developed musical skills and great composition, strong and tightly played. The title-track is just superb, and the whole album is stunning. This album has never been released before, and Norway's music scene should be proud of this great band.

Four more years developing musical skills, great composition sense, and strong instrumental abilities. The title song of the album is just superb, the whole album simply stunning. We wish we had more recordings of this great band. But that is all there is. A big surprise they have never been released before. We love it and the music scene in Norway can be proud of this recording."

Rain, Norway's most well-kept secret has finally been told! This great band has only released a very rare 45 EP as a soundtrack for the Norwegian movie Rivalen. Very much like Frank Zappa and The Mothers, Rain's complex compositions were based on the skills of modern classic composers such as Varèse and Stravinsky. They've also mentioned Vanilla Fudge as another strong influence. Ten great tracks with horns and orchestral arrangements, with great fuzz guitar, Hammond organ and amazing vocals. Rain were a Norwegian rock band who had the urge to exceed limits, both musically and technically. Members included Carl Jørgen Kiønig on drums, Knut Heljar Hagen on organ, piano, vocals, and bass, and Åsmund Feidje on guitar, violin, vocals, and bass. This album was recorded in 1969/1970. Besides seven of their own compositions, they play mind-blowing versions of "A Day in the Life," "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Isolation." Their very complex and difficult arrangements required a lot of practice to turn their concerts into a total experience with a spectacular psychedelic light-show and experimentations with "surround" sound. Includes a 20-minute long bonus track.
