Tora is a one-album-wonder electronic group from Germany consisting of Heike Kieslich (vocals), Harald and Wolfgang Kaufmann (guitars), Thomas Henzen (drums), Franz Kufner (bass) and John Capek (keyboards). They released their only eponymous album and corresponding maxi-single Hot Rain / Pieces of Ice in 1983. Nothing else is known about members of Tora or any other of their works, except for more or less known producer of this record John Joseph Capek. Music of Tora and powerful female vocals of Heike Kieslich remind a lot of similar short-living French group Hard Corps.

Hello VT, i dont have many people i think i can call a hero´s, but now you are absolutely A HERO, woughhhhh, i´v been looking for TORA HOT RAIN at least for the past 30 years or more, now and then browsed youtube and record stores, but as i recall i remember a different front cover, some woman in some red dress with some fog or smoke. Anyway
Today my FB on time line said that i 2 years ago asked everyone for help linking me to HOT RAIN, but no one knew TORA, and thought i was a cupcake :-) :-) so tday i thought lets give it a try in YT again, and YES MAN, woughhhh... thank you bless your day. its awesome. im without words and ps. very good sound in speakers, well my neighbour is maybe of other opinion.

Thanks for your story. This always helps to continue the project. And such a loyal fan for such underground one-album wonder is very unusual.

Geeeee thanks, well im not ordinary, or average, i hear what others dont, i see what others dont, cuz theres eyes and ears are stuffed with mainstream, and if the lyric in a song dont kick my ass and tear my heart at the same time, its not my tune, but anyway the singer, the Vocalist reminds me of Toyah Wilcox. (she was Thunder in my mountain) stay cool and have a nice weekend where ever you listen. :-)

Don't Feel Like could easily have been put in the Rocky 3 or 4 movies as the training montage part !
