I am the lightning
I am the heat
I am the rain
Rain (reign) all day
I am the rain
I'm gonna reign this way again
I am the rain

I am the spy
Before the blade
I am the raindrop out at sea
I cause the ripples that become the crashing waves
I am the rain
Rain (reign) all day
I am the rain

You thought a different day had come
A day you thought the earth was done
And if you could have said it all
I know you would have said it all

I am the rain
I'm gonna reign this way again
I am the rain
Rain (reign) all day

You thought a different day had come
A day you thought the earth was done
I am the rain
And if you could have said it all
I know you would have said it all
I am the rain

16 year old me would think those lyrics are quite profound, but now that I'm double that age, let me just say - not so much

Never heard this before... It's rare that a first time listen to a song captivates me so much.  So unique, so good.

Fantastic vocals on a fantastic track, including a fantastic drummer.

Ian Brown - from the Stone Roses on vocals here. He has a fantasticly unique voice...  Perhaps not a lot of range but he's good and he has a vibe.

I love Unkle, thanks RP for turning me on to them....now just wish James Lavelle would tour in the US!

It is so cool to see comments from 9 years ago! I can't believe that I found "RP" 14 Years ago. It's been my home since then. I'm so Thankful. BTW this Unkle song is pretty cool and the album art is really great.

Two month later PSD sends me here again. Still a good tune.

More Unkle to the people.

I must disagree. This song rocks.. I love the way it flows and builds...major 10 for me! {#Dancingbanana}

I am giving this a 5 because every time I hear anything from this album it reminds me of how much better the first one was...

UNKLE's still decent, but just not the same without DJ Shadow.

Wow!
From Amon Tobin to Unkle!
Very impressive RP.
I lost touch with Unkle by the time of this album, but hearing it now on RP years later, it has new life for me.
I have some earlier Unkle stuff on MoWax, which ain't anything like this tune.
Hearing this song for the first time (right now on RP) i thought it was a current rock band with great electronic touches.
And then to go check the playlist and find its Unkle (right after a Amon tune no less).
Gonna have to check out the full album now. Cool.
Thanks again RP!

First time hearing this, and I really like it. I need to check out more of Unkle's stuff...I'm really only familiar with "Rabbit In Your Headlights", which I like.

Hearing UNKLE's Reign and spazming from pleasure is one thing but hearing AND seeing the whole UNKLE Live band live is... I'm lost for words here, you have to experience it yourselves, it is something unforgettable.

I always have had a soft spot for Ian Brown's thick Mancunian banter. Together with James Lavelle's beats and that heavenly string section, it is awesome!

Ian Brown's voice is so perfect for electronica. James Lavel rocks. Shame Shadow is no longer involved with UNKLE but this album flows a bit better than psyence fiction.
I agree, i think UNKLE's strength is it's great use of guest vocalists (Thom Yorke, Ian Astbury, 3D). Chemical Brothers have also figured that out.

An absolutely fantastic album. I'd like to hear 'Invasion' and 'What You Are to Me' more often, as well.

I had to up this from a 6 to a 7 when I finally found the time to crank up the volume. This sounds excellent. An album I will certainly go hunting for.

Meh. Not bad, but not great either. If I hear it again, I may like it more, but too soon to tell.
