“Raining (My Eyes Are Filled With Clouds) Remix” is the sole single from the British folk duo Ancient Beatbox. It was released in 1990 by Cooking Vinyl, and features guest vocals by Sheila Chandra. The sleeve is credited to Martin Brown at Rodeo Design.

The band’s name uses Neville Brody’s Typeface Five. Unlike Typeface Four and Typeface Six, Typeface Five was never released digitally, but it was shown in the 1988 book The Graphic Language of Neville Brody.

The single title on the front cover uses all-caps Onyx. “With Sheila Chandra” is in Trade Gothic Extended, which is also used for the text on the back cover.
