the CRANES poll

Population 4 is a cancer upon our way of life.

but ... but ... to paraphrase what you said before, dan, it sounds like Korn if its lead singer was a pissed-off Strawberry Shortcake!

huh, i don't know what happened to my post. anyway, the ep collection makes the first severalalbums kind of irrelevant to me. I haven't hear anything after that.

Tough call between Forever and Loved.

I will go with 'Wings of Joy' even if 'Forever' is better written.

Haha that comment was in response to some unspecified pre-P4 song, though! P4 made me go from being on the path to being a big fan to never, ever, ever wanting to hear them again.

PS my answer is Loved because relistening to that album made me come back to thinking they were great at one point.

come to think of it, their ENTIRE catalog of songs sounds like [name a band] fronted by a pissed-off strawberry shortcake. gotta love alison shaw!

"The appalling Cranes"!
Wings of Joy for all the memories.

eisbaer, i fucking love you.

it's 'ep collections', but, compilations probably shouldn't be part of this. it's 'loved'.

love these weird-os.

I gave up after Foreverm but quite liked that one. Her voice got to me after a while, though.

didn't i see one of those getting the remastered + bonus tracks treatment in this week's sister ray list?

CRANES: Forever (Remaster+Bonus Tracks) CD 7.99

would actually like a copy of the eps and self non-self. ebay here i come...

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

ah, come on, it should been 'loved'. i think i forgot to vote, though.

Yeah and the EP don't count. We need a re-count.

Self-Non-Self 0

this is really hitting the spot at the moment. found it at some street market stall. They had a Red Lorry Yellow Lorry 12" as well but it was a pretty late so it probably sucked.

Last year on the fan forum Paul Smith said Cranes have been working on loads of stuff for years. Hope it'll come out soon. There's a lot of side projects, wonder if any of it scratches a similar itch.
