This is wonderful news!!!!! Only a month and a half away!
<insert ridiculous amount of emoticons here>

Can we do another online pre-release listening party chat thing? That was a lot of fun last time.

Does this mean the promised US tour isn't happening? Sad

You guys could stay with me in NY if you need to... Wink

Fuel costs? You're kidding right? We live in the UK. Fuel here is bordering on (equiv.) 8 bucks a gallon..... and has been for quite some time.

Hey,

you can find "Cranes" cover art album + the tracklist here: http://www.play.com/Music/CD/-/12/147/-/6660663/Cranes/Product.html?searchtype=genre#

For those who live in France, you'll find an interview and a new song taken off the new album intitled "Worlds" (which is great) on D-Side magazine.

Wow - love the cover art. Gorgeous!

Any place online that someone from the US could hear this track? I have no idea if this mag is available anywhere here.

Wow... this is the best Cranes album cover ever. Hope the music in it is as well... Smile

No pre-order possibility here in Germany, yet. Hope it will be available at the usual stores or amazon etc... Or will it only be available as an import, like Particles & Waves was?

Unfortunately I wont be able to see the band live. I havent missed a show in my country since 1998 but this time my schedule is too heavy in october. I hope you can add some venues in november.

I'm a bit worried. The album is due to be released in two weeks but there is no pre-order possibility anywhere here in Germany. Amazon doesn't have it listed nor any other Online store. Just two indepentend store form the UK had it available for pre-order... ebay hasn't got it neither. And the Dadaphonic store also doesn't list it... Question
