Previously known as the Swedish synthpop act Joyce (and later Joyce
Inc.) Raindancer's first EP release is very impressive. A few of the
tracks off their early demos are truly fantastic and I sincerely
hope they will recycle some of those gems on their upcoming album as
Raindancer. The reason behind the name switch was the band's wishes
to move more towards dance and euro sounds, a undisputable fact on,
for example, the new EP "Sleepless". The title track is very dance
flavoured with a skittering melody line to start things off. While
old, it's still good enough to deserve wide spread attention. What
sets Raindancer apart from the anonymous euro techno scene is the
use of real vocals and a different approach in song writing. Erik
Skalin and Thomas Sandberg have said their aim is to combine the
energy and tempo from the club dance music with classic synthpop;
something which also shows on this first officially released disc.
No less than five versions of "Sleepless" are included, three of
which can be considered very good. Accompanied by the bonus tracks
"Raindance" and "Theme", this is no doubt worthy of a purchase. A
debut album, as mentioned, should be on its way. High EBM beats
with a tranced out synthpop feel, Raindancer delivers catchy
dancable pop. The mixes here range from old school synthpop
(Ganymede) trip hop (Absorb Prjects) to futurepop (Fr/action).

contribute to the growing sale losses of record companies.
Unfortunately our style primarily targets small, independant labels
that need sales to survive.

sites or P2P tools; if more and more receive their music from the net,
artists and labels will have to face even less sells than nowadays.

only as a way to check out and learn about new music.
We absolutely do not approve of DJs or other individuals that earn
money from pirated music - Don't let them get their hands on it!
By buying the albums you like you disperse the guilt we feel by
releasing this music - Enjoy the music and be fair with the artists!
YOUR support is required to keep them financially alive and producing!
