"6) Rain in the Tropics - Gene Rains
What is it like?"

---

I only have one Gene Rains album: "Lotus Land". Gene's closest musical cousins would be Denny and Lyman: emphasis on the piano but with a lighter touch than Martin at his most bombastic and perhaps not as dreamy as Arthur at his most mellow. Gene's music has all the usual hallmarks of classic exotica: echoing cymbals, sound fx of crashing waves, chirping birds, surreal vibes, etc. If you see it, grab it.
