Came into contact with this song via the Funky Collector series of CD's. Any info on where this was cut and who was behind it? Awfully nice piece of slow groove with gorgeous strings.

Rainbow Team is an Italian group, and the lead singer has a strong accent and is sometimes hard to understand. The songs really sound great though, in the same way that "Spacer" by Sheila and B. Devotion doesn't lose anything by having a French accent. Interestingly, their 1981 work was more electronic than their 1982 work, which is the reverse of what usually happened. I like their song "My Darling" even better than "Bite the Apple". I was able to get "My Darling" on an uncommon CD imported from France. Mariella Cavalieri was the producer. And so you can find some sonic similarities in his work for Korja (the song "My Mind"), and also check out his works with Firefly (the song "You Can Lead Me" is sweet) and Ago (the song "You Make Me Do"). I hope to hear Rainbow Team's "Come to the Rainbow" (1979) soon; apparently I can just request it on Diva Radio and then they'll queue and play it, so I look forward to doing that when I have time.
