Scott Hardkiss’ debut single under his God Within guise is a time capsule of early-‘90s San Francisco rave culture. “Raincry” was released on white 12-inch vinyl with a provocative center label and cover, both extracted/sampled from In Voluptas Mors, a 1951 collaboration between photographer Philippe Halsman and surreal legend Salvador Dalí, featuring seven nude models painstakingly posed to create a composite human skull.
The cover art for “Raincry” stood out from the dance music marketplace as much as the music did, floating on its own planet of transportive creativity, and it remains one of those special vinyl releases that leaned away from the pack. And it absolutely reduced people to puddles of emotion on the dancefloor. “Raincry” was an ambassador of an emerging San Francisco sound and ethos to the rest of the world.
The first limited-edition vinyl release features the 10-minute “Raincry (Submerged)” on the A-side, but many DJs gravitated toward the shorter and punchier “Raincry (Spiritual Thirst)” on the B-side, which made it onto the Hardkiss Delusions of Grandeur collection, which was first released in 1995 and then remastered and re-released in 2015. The Spiritual Thirst version gives you the central vocal that conveys a million feelings with one epic “oooh yeah”—lifted from movie music God Hans Zimmer’s “The Rainmaker,” which came out the year before on The Power of One soundtrack.
Back in the 90's San Francisco; Scott, Gavin and Robbie Hardkiss helped pioneer the American EDM/Rave scene with their club nights, warehouse parties and groundbreaking record label. They forged a new direction for dance music with a string of vinyl releases culminating in the seminal compilation, DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR.
DELUSIONS made the Billboard dance charts, went to #1 on the Rolling Stone alternative album chart and launched the international DJ/production careers of the Hardkiss brothers (Gavin, Scott, Robbie Hardkiss)
