Mid Day Rain are presumably a studio group, this being their sole release on RCA records sometime in 1970. I have no information on the origins or personnel involved (aside from the label info) which is a quite impressive feat given that it's 2016 and obscurity is becoming obscure in its own right. On to the music.
The warm, rich sounds of 'Welcome To The Rain' really seep into your mind as passages of flute and effected guitar wash over a distinguished drum and bass. Rounding out this lush soundscape are the smooth vocals/harmonies and classy orchestration making this a production worth remembering.
The flipside 'Friday Mourning' is more of the same, and I mean that in the very best way possible. This track is so lush and dreamy, you'd have to be a real asshole not to like it.. I'm very happy to own a copy of this, and I wouldn't hesitate to pick up the promo version if one turns up.
Both sides can be found on my most recent podcast where I converted them to mono. I'm sure some folks would be unhappy about this, but I think it sounds quite lovely.
