5.0 out of 5 stars elegantly violent, a masterpiece of haunting soundscapes, May 8, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Wings of Joy (Audio CD)

Cranes create minimalistic songs that relentlessly move forward until they reach climaxes of savage power. They combine insistent simple beats with piano, sophisticated guitar noise, and the most unique and spine-tingling voice you've ever heard.

5.0 out of 5 stars innocently intense, March 10, 2000

Pandora Boxx (San Diego ,CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wings of Joy (Audio CD)

Cranes "Wings of Joy" is their best album in my opinion.I first heard the Cranes live at The Cure's wish tour back in 1992 and bought the album the very next day.I have been a huge fan ever since.The music on this album is filled with harsh guitar sounds,beautiful piano melodies and intense drums.Alison Shaw's little girl voice adds a touch of innocence to this intense album.While most of the songs are quite intense like "star blood" (my favorite) there are some beautiful soft melodies like "tomorrows tears".The album has a elements of Industrial,Gothic rock and hints of ethereal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully dark and poetic..., October 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Wings of Joy (Audio CD)

The Cranes are one of the best goth bands I have ever heard. Their lead singer has such a beautiful voice, the lyrics are poetic, and the music is just wonderfully heavy and ambient. Great stuff...
