Description:

Cover is by 4AD's famous designer! A rare collection of 90's UK dream pop / shoegaze songs from the band's first and peak period, supervised by the band members! If the cover of this album is what you are looking for, you must love Dream Pop/Shoegaze music. ....! The Cranes have continued to unearth and release rare recordings such as "JOHN PEEL SESSIONS (1989-1990)" (2023) and "FUSE" (2024). This time, a hot anthology of their first and peak years, 1989-1997, has arrived! Included in this collection are 1989's "SELF-NON-SELF", 1991's "WINGS OF JOY", 1993's "FOREVER", 1994's "LOVED", 1997's "POPULATION FOUR", and 1996's "LA TRAGEDIE D'ORESTE ET ELECTRE", six copies.Each is full of rare bonus tracks, supervised by vocalist Alison Shaw! The Cranes' history, which coincides with the embryonic development and demise of original shoegaze, is akin to the fragility and loveliness of their musicality... The album cover was designed by 4AD's renowned designer, Chris Bigg, and is a six-part dream-pop/shoegaze journey into the world of Alison's addictive voice! BEAUTIFUL FRIEND" and "PALE BLUE SKY", all of which performed well on the UK indie charts, are now seen as anticipating the modern indie scene!
