Hi there
I agree on the fact that the live cd is very
laidback (but not bad) ! The drums are very silent.
I was one of the first Cranes fans in Belgium
(since 1991). I saw them play Starblood live in the MTV studios on Tv, and I was
sold ! I thought ' wow ,who are these guys !?'.
On their first gigs Alison was always dressed in a
white fairy-like dress and the guys where dressed in black and had dreadlocks
and piercings. The early fans were all Gothic people. Actually , their audience
at that time was all black dressed ! They sounded like a neat cross between Dead
Can Dance, Cocteau Twin,s Joy Division and Swans back then . (my favourite 4
bands)
Since then they seem to want to get rid of their
Gothic tag and seem to evolve to a pure pop band. All the 'disturbing' things
like the screaming, the heavy drums and the guitar walls have gone since
them.
However , I will always stay a Cranes
-fan.

Subject: [inthenight] guitar heavy
songs
yeah, i was one of the people at the '02 los angeles show who was
screaming for "starblood" for the whole second half of the show. nobody
really joined in though, and i get the feeling that the large majority of the
crowd didn't really even know who the cranes were. but now that i look
back, there really weren't any guitar heavy songs in the entire setlist except
for "adrift", and that's pretty much entirely different from the guitar heavy
stuff off of wings of joy. (i don't know about fuse as i still haven't
heard that album) And "sixth of may" has always been a favorite of mine
too that would have been nice to have heard. but other than that, i was
mostly satisfied with the setlist as they did play a lot of their good older
songs. they played my favorite, "far away", and after that i was pretty
much content. i did write down the entire set list, but i misplaced
it. i believe they played "adoration" which i love, but did ! not play
"tomorrow's tears" which i really would have appreciated.

I think it's a different
question. "Starblood" was a real thing with Mark
Francombre. Nowadays it
wouldn't make sense anymore, with Paul trying to
imitate Mark.
Playing
"Starblood" today would be as summoning a ghost.
Though they all know
people would die to hear older tunes played live, I
suppose they're
mumbling on it, when people at concerts ask for "Reach", or
"Sixth of
May" for example.
