There must be some information out there somewhere. There is a little bit of info on the back liner notes of the first release "Lotus Land". I'm at work right now, but I'll see if I can't gleen any info from that. I find the info on these exotica musicians fascinating. Its such a specialized genre that few LPs made it to CD, little is known about the remainders and even less seems to be known about many of the artists. I still can't find the release years for any of the Rains LPs, they simply aren't printed anywhere on the jackets or platters. I would like to create an exotica info database, but there is little out there. I guess this genre requires some good old fashioned detective work. I too would be curious to see if any TC'ers out there in Hawaii can dig up anything on Rains. Mark
