Cranes
Cranes are a shoegaze/dream pop group fronted by Alison Shaw and formed in 1986. They were originally based on the south coast of England in Portsmouth.
The band released their first album on vinyl, Self Non Self in July 1989. The intensity of that album garnered very good reviews and caught the attention of John Peel, who picked up on the album right away, with the group recording a session for him in the album's first week of release. Shortly Read Full BioCranes are a shoegaze/dream pop group fronted by Alison Shaw and formed in 1986. They were originally based on the south coast of England in Portsmouth.

The intensity of that album garnered very good reviews and caught the attention of John Peel, who picked up on the album right away, with the group recording a session for him in the album's first week of release. Shortly afterwards they signed to the label Dedicated (which also became home to Spiritualized and Beth Orton) and went on to record their EP "Espero" in 1990, with the album "Wings of Joy" following a year later. The release of "Wings of Joy" caught the attention of Robert Smith of The Cure who picked the Cranes to open for them on their world tour in 1992. They then went on to record the albums "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 saw the band heading in a more electronic direction while retaining the trademark sound of previous releases. In January 2007 the band released a download only album, "Live at Amsterdam Paradiso," originally recorded in 1991. The show captures the darker, heavier days of the early Cranes and is available only via www.dadaphonic.co.uk.
In 2008 Cranes albums "Wings of Joy', 'Forever' and 'Loved' were re-issued by Cherry Red Records, www.cherryred.co.uk as part of their series of 'influential artists' re-releases.
In October 2008 Cranes released their self titled album 'Cranes'.

Cranes Lyrics
If I could keep
This moment here
Live away
Get away
And now I feel you
Cross my heart
Shining shining
Like a jewel
O0o0oh
Put me high on a wall
And let's not fall
Let's not fall
Sweet dreams I remember it all
I remembered it all
Doo te doo0...
If I could keep this hour
And hold you gently next to me
It would sparkle like a jewel
And all this means so much to me
You know it's gone
It's gone to fast
Wish you could never be a past
But then I'll ... much more to lose
Alone and screaming
Eo eo eo...
To doo te doo...
Eo...
To doo te doo

If I could keep this moment here
And never let it get away
Then I would feel you close to my heart
Shining, shining like a jewel...
Like walking high on a wall
And let's not fall, let's not fall
Sweet dreams I remember it all
I remember it all
If I could keep this hour
And hold it gently next to me
Then it would sparkle like a jewel
And always mean so much to me
But now it's gone, it's gone too fast
I wish it would never be in the past
For then all our love wouldn't go to waste
There would be no more screaming it away
Jason Freeman

I did not discover them till i was 22, I am a diehard shoegazing and dream pop fan now for life
Aidan Day
This is like a thousand times better than the Robert Smith remix. Not every song needs to have that goofy electronic marimba sound...seriously...
John Meowzer
The coolness factor is off the scale...Alison's voice, and the storm of guitar.
Philip Shade
That tears it. I'm going to listen to Cranes for the rest of the day.
