"Rain-cloud (Dom Dixon aka talkingmakesnosense and Alec Cheer) traffics in a tranquil electro-acoustic style where lulling environmental soundscapes are faintly discoloured by mechanical rhythms, shudders, static, and the. Acoustic and, to a lesser degree, electric guitars occupy the front-line with droning streams of electronic noise softly resounding in the distance. The group name is well-chosen as it connects Rain-cloud to the natural landscape but, more importantly, its music does too. The duo's peaceful material evocatively conjures images of vast countryside panoramas and early-morning, seaside tranquility, the music's meditative character conveyed by titles like "I Sit Here all Day" and "Keeping a Low Profile." "Cloud Surprise," for example, doesn't announce the sudden onset of a violent storm but instead suggests a slow, stately drift of cumulous clouds across an immense blue sky. Sometimes, the background noise translates into programmatic content, like the loud rippling noise produced by deeply-gouged vinyl that suggests a storm-tossed setting in "Faulty Spaceship Two." Rain-cloud will appeal to those drawn to the 'ambient electro-acoustic' material that's sometimes issued by labels like Type and CCO sub-label Büro."

"Rain-Cloud is a collaboration between between Alec Cheer (recently to be found recording on London's Drifting Falling imprint) and Dom Dixon of Talkingmakesnosense. Their respective guitar-based sounds are delicious anyway, but together they've produced a subtly powerful beast that uses dense swathes of sound to concoct a beautiful, yet intense journey. It's distinctly melodic and the picked, gently played moments really are lush, but, for me, the duo are at their best when the bigger, slightly more distorted guitar textures work their way into the mix. Another fabulous release from the Benbecula Minerals series which definitely deserves your attention. Quality."
