Raindance - Nick Coleman [Suckmusic]

Writer: Kid's Table

It has been almost two years since Nick Coleman's last original release. Having recently signed an album deal with Sweat It Out! with his band 'Northbrook', Coleman has been reinventing his sound, a sound which is less serious and a lot more fun!

'Raindance' however is well... epic. The track took two years to finish and had been shelved by the producer who thought that there was no time and very few places for such an emotional track. This may be the case, or just the opinion of the enigmatic Coleman. Regardless, we think that this is a world class piece of music that is worthy of release. 

The track features vibraphone, marimba and percussion, all of which were intricately programmed by Coleman. 

Silversix's remix is a wonderful example of a remix that compliments the original. Emotionally it is a silver lining version of the original, a stripped back, warmer take.
