Self-Non-Self (180g) (Limited Numbered 35th Anniversary Edition) (Black & White Marbled Vinyl) [LP]

After the release of their first EP "Fuse", the Cranes expanded into a four-piece band and recorded their debut full-length album "Self-Non-Self" in 1989. Their sound was described as "gothic minimalism" and "dreampop" and also became part of the shoegazing movement in the early nineties.

This album from 1989 shows their evolution through the increasing textures in the sound and the drum slams. The album contains a darker sound and is a mixture of industrial and post-punk music.

Originally only six tracks, the band's label, Dedicated Records, added two more tracks on the 1992 re-release: "Reach (Live)" and "Nothing In The Middle, Nothing At The End". In the same year, the Cranes went on a world tour with The Cure, which further increased their popularity.
