about
City Rain's first solo release on Boltfish Recordings, as described by the artist below....
"'Light Turned On' is an autobiographical album. Each song's title represents not only something about the song, but about myself over the last year. The album is about finally waking up and realizing what and who is important in my life. Each song represents a certain mood/emotion that I have felt over the making of the album.
I wanted the album to be very electronic but at the same time have an organic human feel. I implemented this through the use of recordings from around my apartment and outside my apartment. I wanted to convey the deep emotions as well as the daily hum drum of going to work, making dinner, etc... In this way I synced recordings of playing around on my desk, handling dishes, and jingling keys to a rhythm.
Most of my influence has come the likes of Trentemoller (first and foremost), Robert Babicz, BT, and others that embrace organic electronic music. The album took about a year to complete is my greatest accomplishment up to this point in my life."

Cloudwalker
by Gimmiksupported by 5 fans who also own “Light Turned On”
Without failure, this LP represents the classic Gimmik sound. Forever emotive, cosmic and mysterious with a mixture of euphoric to outright dance ready moments baked within the bass and bleeps we all know and love Gimmik for! As others have already said, I will second, this is Martin's most mature and concise work to date - so if you are a fan of his back catalogue, you're going to absolutely love Cloudwalker! Well done Martin and massive respect to n5MD for putting his work out!
