REISSUE: “Rain” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Goombay Dance Band
Goombay Dance Band is a German dance band whose single “Rain” from 1980 brought the hardcore disco/club scene to life once again. Recreating the sound of disco music for the 80’s with a full on take on fantasy and stage presence – very similar to bands like Boney M. The band released projects with their Caribbean sound echoing throughout tracks which many fit the direction in where dance music was becoming empowered once again. The production by Jochen Petersen is also assisted by Michael Cretu (Sandra, Enigma) here and work with nice results as displayed in “Rain”.
I have taken the 12” version of “Rain” and focused on a dub/instrumental take for this ReStructure Mix. The pounding drums and heavy synth and chorus parts are still intact here even through the original is stretched into a new arrangement.
