Paul Hardcastle Rain Forest

[chrisben3]

Everyone knows "19" but "Rain Forest" was a superior song in every way.

[afterluv04]

what can i say, i luv some rainforest and some hardcastle

[RememberToday4ever]

Brings back good memories of my youth. I must have been about 13 or 14 at the time collecting all the "Street Sounds Compilation" albums. Bring back the 80's ;-)

[dragonworld2008]

I seen old video of paul brake dancing.when he was a teenager.lol

[ubzm555]

Love the song! The pitch is bit to fast though.

[rs2klee]

@ubzm555 not really, its the perfect pitch :) Quote "defjam1075 - Fucking Perfect pitch speed I can listen to this song all day everyday, it doesnt get old. (Greatest instrumental ever.)

i agree :) Think i listend enough to make it perfect, only about 25+ years so think its ok :)

[lxolxo7]

@rs2klee On the contrary my friend. I must agree with ubzm555. I'm a total beat junkie and vinyl collector! I still have this on original cassette from when it first came out. I also have at least a few copies of the album and single on vinyl. Many thanks for the post, but the pitch is too fast.

[lxolxo7]

@rs2klee P.S. I just checked out a post of this Classic from merlotje which is quite nice! I've been jammin' this for 25 years also, and believe me it's just how it should sound! Please have a listen. Peeese!

[jungler1986]

artefact

[94cadillacfleetwood]

love the warped sound...nothing beats vinyl!

[fruitman13]

when I first heard this it was3:00 am and this was playing when the TV station was signing off the air in Lubbock Texas

[defjam1075]

Fucking Perfect pitch speed I can listen to this song all day everyday, it doesnt get old. (Greatest instrumental ever.)

[Oldschoolrules1]

Just been re released on the Zero one album, via digital

[ApotheosisWolf]

Here in Vegas we hace a smooth jazz-format station, and they play this from time to time. Didn't even know the name of it and I just stumbled upon this by coincidence. Awesome.

[farmereddy11]

[MrPisster]

WE ARE THE SOUND CHASER

[djfdogg]

[bigtmach]

[MercMaster101]

[gavster37]

Yeah, great tune.. brings back the memories.! used to spin this one..;-)

[a1ttb]

[PuSpon]

охуенна я щетаю

[syncswim]

Funky fresh

[pascalpaz]

Perfer the remix on Hardcastle III...........great track though

[kendeezy21]

yes!! its sooo smooth! brings back kool mems!

[MercMaster101]

(your) _____ is so smooth lol

[dmaas44]

I have always loved this song. I like how you can see the person recording this occasionally lean to his or her left and peer at the playing record in the refelection of the plastic wrapped record.

[rs2klee]

refelection.. hmm that might be me then :)

[Jprojasw]

Has anyone of you guys seen any video related to Paul's last production, such as Marimba on video?

Tks.

[vanitysadeparis]

For those too young to know what this is...it's called a record!! LOL.

Go, old school!!

:)

[Jprojasw]

In the old times they were used to be known as "LP Records" jejejejeje

[vanitysadeparis]

Thought so, but wasn't sure. Thanks!

:)

[torean313]

classic !

[0208gp]

Paul ROCKS!!

[jadesystem]

Very Nice Turntable. That is a Shure M91ED

or M93ED cartridge. Those are top-of-the-line high performance cartridges with the conical diamond stylus. Stylus force is less than 1 gram. Sounds awesome. I can tell by the tonearm shell that it is a Pioneer, and the tonearm itself is a Pioneer PL series. It must be a direct-drive unit due to the strobe on the platter. The Wow and Flutter specs are probably axcellent and acceptable for this high-end turntable and audio set-up. Nice equipment !!

[darkelflemurian]

does someone knows where to get this version of the song???

[FuryOfFirestorm]

Holy Shit! Finally, after hearing this song here and there over the years, I find out the name of the song and artist who made this kick ass track. About fucking time! :)

[280ZedX]

tell me about...listened to this song for the past 20 years, and i just found out who he was.

[504BLACKMAN]

greatest instrumental ever

[itsabreeze2me]

Pop Lockin In Venice Beach And LBC back in 85!! All day!!

[1980Triumph]

they play this song on oldies soul stations and they never have EVER said the title or name of the song. Its a forever classic!!

[Renagade70]

This is my favorite Paul Hardcastle tune.

[alanhowitzer]

I remember this song being used for promos on AFN. I always wanted to know who it was.

[MercMaster101]

[narkila]

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil...back to 80´s!!!

[droppedbowel]

Loved side b as well "sound chaser" that was a kiler track, rain forest is a sweet classic cruising tune.

[danny1374]

Pure bliss, paul hardcastle is a genius.

[bigtmach]

Does anybody have the vide to this?

[AcaiBerryMONAVIE]

ahhhh THE ACAI BERRY from Rainforest  lol

[blackadam06]

My favorite song by him is Moon Hopper.

Man I miss the 80's & all the innovative, creative & original music that came from the decade..

[shiro80]

the days when imagination came out

and we were young.

i miss then too!

[LostHisMarbles]

Awsome song.

[electrofreek999]

Yes paul hardcastles take on the planet rock beat. And a superb attempt. The music was used widely by radio stations in the USA as "background music" for DJ's

[Sandkakan]

Absolutely awesome song, probably the best song by Paul Hardcastle. I'm really glad that I checked out his other songs after listening to famous "19", they are way better than "19" often.

[antiann52]

My favorite Paul Hardcastle instrumental. He is so handsome. You got to hear Golden Gate and a song he named after his daughter called Maxine. He is so damn cool! Thanks for the add

[Crashland1947]

Records are the best.I miss choosing sides.

[oholm08]

i am gonna that song of my keyboards

[rs2klee]

cool let me listen when done :)

[edkrunkleton]

This song is hypnotic.

[gibbs1968]

This is what music is about. My brother had a Paul Hardcastle album back in de 80's called Zero 1 which is fantastic and ndef worth a listen.

[Guinnessneil]

Quality.............

[nuttybollox]

Mustard!!!

[Jumpa31]

[yushtalker]

Thats hip-hop right there

[19chucki74]

What label was Paul Hardcastle on when he recorded "Rain Forest"? This is my favorite instrumental.

[misshley]

This is my favorite instrumental too. It took me a long, long time to find it. I finally did a google search and it connected me to amazon where I was able to find this song.

[Romanroom]

Bluebird. He recorded it in 1985.

[JAMESJW2006]

fucking tune

[sastal]

Request? PH's jazz remix of "Don't Waste My Time." It's the one with the blue cover and the "Just for Money" b-side remix. It's very rare.

[ailori]

1984 this is the song that introduced me to Paul Hardcastle I remember it just like yesterday.

[navyboydjray]

yeah, me too. I remember this was super smooth and groovy. Nice one.

[michel1835]

[Steril707]

[blackadam06]

Although this is the song that put him on the map here in the U.S., his "Moon Hopper" joint is the one that I love the most..

[CrazyMofo177]

He never made a video for this didn't he? This song is pretty much the song that put him on the map in the U.S. I still couldn't understand why, but still PH owns!

[1986ted]

Great track!! If you have any rare PH tracks, it would be nice to hear a few of them...His songs are great!!
