Raining Pleasure - Reflections by Manos Hadjidakis (2005)

Manos Hatzidakis (October 23, 1925 – June 15, 1994) was a Greek composer and theorist of the Greek music. In 1960 he received an Academy Award for Best Original Song for his song "Never On Sunday" from the film of the same name.

The New York Rock & Roll Ensemble was a rock band of the late 1960s and early 1970s described as playing "classical baroque rock". Years Active: 1967 - 1973.
Their third album, "Reflections", was actually recorded prior to Faithful Friends and was a collaboration with Greek composer Manos Hadjidakis as a score for a film that was never produced.
In 1993 Manos Hadjidakis revised and released the "Reflections" again, with Greek lyrics by Nikos Gatsos.

Raining Pleasure is an Indie / Rock band originating from Patras, Greece, often credited with spearheading the newest wave of Greek bands with English lyrics. The band was formed in September 1990 under the name "Rest in Peace". A year after their formation the band started appearing live locally. In 1992, they changed their name to Raining Pleasure and started touring Greece.

Raining Pleasure gave a series of successful concerts in Greece, which resulted them in supporting bands like The Cure, The Pixies, The Dandy Warhols and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club in their Greek shows.

In winter of 2004, the band embarked on its first mini-tour in Germany while in a studio in Cologne to record a new version of the classic album "Reflections" (originally by Manos Hadjidakis and the New York Rock & Roll Ensemble). Raining Pleasure's "Reflections" was released to immediate critical acclaim. The album was introduced to media at a concert at St. Paul's Anglican Church in Athens.
The album has been certified gold.
