About Me |
|
| Originally based on the south coast of England in Portsmouth, Cranes first album 'Self non Self' had a peculiar intensity which seemed all the more unusual at the time. John Peel picked up on the album right away, with the group recording a session for him in the album's first week of release. Some intense media interest followed and shortly afterwards they signed to the label Dedicated (which also became home to Spiritualized and Beth Orton, etc) and went on to record the albums 'Wings of Joy' (1991), 'Forever' (1993), 'Loved' (1994), 'La Tragedie d'Oreste et Electre' (1995), and 'Population Four' (1997). After a 4 year break, Cranes re-emerged on their own independent label Dadaphonic to release 'Future Songs' (2001) and 'Particles & Waves' (2004), which sees the band heading in a more electronic direction yet still retaining their trademark sound from their previous releases. Wings of Joy + Forever 2007 Reissues now available |
