In 1992, (now defunct) Pacific Northwest record label "Fearless Donkey Records" released a compilation CD called Songs From The Rain Factory. The bands weren't all on Fearless Donkey (not sure if any of them were!) but the release was a unique and interesting compilation. There was quite a bit going on in the underground Christian scene in the "upper left corner" at the time (the late 80's, early 90's), and this CD attempted to reflect the excitement and hope for the future of the Christian underground music scene many felt at the time.

In fact, this release is fairly prescient in that sense, as many of these artists were to later sign with Tooth & Nail, Broken, and others, either as the band on this CD or in another incarnation. For example, Poor Old Lu went on to a successful career on the Frontline Records sub-label Alarma!, The Clergy released "RUAMI" on Broken Records, and Don't Know released material on Tooth & Nail Records. Not to be outdone, Mikee Bridges from the Gecko Monks formed Sometime Sunday shortly after this release, Bill Power, who was in the band Ashes To Ashes, later formed Blenderhead, and members of Empty Tomb became Crux, all part of the early Tooth & Nail records roster. So there's really a lot of history on this Fearless Donkey release! Even if you don't care for every song on here today, it is a great record to keep around if you are a collector to any degree.
I hope you enjoy this truly rare find!
FAVORITE SONG: Ashes To Ashes - Ophelia Gone Mad. Not perfect, but has a lot of potential with a great feel. It really gets you in the pensive, suffering mind of that famous Shakespeare character.
