What it always sounded like to me was a strangely ahead-of-its-time soundalike to The Pet Shop Boys. Dont get excited, it's not great, but above-average. I always imagined a D.J. playing it for us boys at an outdoor party when the clouds came it, maybe mixed into Chaka Khan. Whatever...

Correction:
"Rain", by The Goombay Dance Band is not a cover of Titanic or Calhoon.
Titanic and Calhoon both had a hit with a song called "Rain 2000"
Dear Sirs, Why are we not able to listen to a preview of the songs we wish to find on your wonderful music sites. How can we possibly know this is the group that we admire the song by... Thanks, Love Irene Pagan
