REPOST and ADD ON: Well, never did find my double CD of the EP's but those EP's are all included so a bit spread out [recommend buying that double CD!!]. I guess I bought it the same time as my Saint Etienne double CD which I also played the heck out of those couple years I lived in L.A. and began finding their Tower records locations out there. I've already brought home the file and not sure what I uploaded last week but may or may not include their self titled CD from 2008. At any rate, the 1994 CD is numbered first as that is another one I own and recognized more of the songs from it having lost the dual EP CD long ago. Great great band here per Discogs: British dream pop band founded in 1985 in Portsmouth.
Current line-up:
Alison Shaw: vocals, bass guitar, acoustic guitar
Jim Shaw: guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, drums
Paul Smith: guitar
Mark Francombe: guitar, bass guitar, keyboards
Jon Callender: drums
Former members:
Mark Francombe: guitar, bass guitar, keyboards (1989–1997)
Matt Cope: guitar (1989–1997)
Manu Ross: drums (1996–1997)
Paul Smith: guitar, keyboards
Ben Baxter: bass guitar

I will also say Mark Underground was the first to post this band [Self-Non-Self CD] and that Wildevilman former DU poster also said in comments he has more as a fave band for him! Here's his blog from blogroll below: https://wdthtc.blogspot.com/search?q=cranes

OH MY GOSH, this band is AMAZING! I can't recommend them highly enough. I've heard so many people say that they can't get into Alison Shaw's voice (okay, so she DOES kind of sound like a baby doll on helium), but I like it. If you haven't heard their second album, "Forever," YOU NEED TO! ALL of their stuff is absolutely terrific, but I think that one is the best. And is the double disc you have the EP collection, by any chance?

YES YES YES Dear ANGSTY it is the EP collection that REALLY Rocks my world. Thanks for more input as I will have to hear that one too. But first I GOTTA find that CD as I miss it and played the hell out of it that year I was in L.A. Glad you like! I mentioned you on the CLANNAD post above, I still can't believe I found the exact two albums (albeit at different times at Goodwill) you mentioned. You bring an Irishman Good Luck!

Isn't that EP collection AMAZING?? "Shining Road" from that was the first song of theirs I ever heard, and just fell in love with their sound. I have all of their cds now, and I play them a lot. I think their music is an acquired taste, but I'm happy that I've acquired it! Haha, glad I brought you some good luck! Hope you like the Clannad albums -- I'm actually listening to "Banba" right now!
