Description

Rain Tree Crow is the sole album released by English band Rain Tree Crow, a reunion project by the members of the new wave band Japan. Recorded in 1989 and 1990 and released in April 1991, it was the first time that members David Sylvian, Mick Karn, Steve Jansen and Richard Barbieri had collaborated as a four-piece since 1982.

The album peaked at number 24 on the UK Albums Chart.

  

The majority of the material on the album was written as a result of group improvisations (aside from "Blackwater" and "Every Colour You Are"), with no pre-rehearsals.

Trouser Press wrote: "the album doesn't sound drastically different from any of their previous work together, but successfully revives Japan's late-period neo-tribal rhythms and vaguely Asian feel."

The name Rain Tree Crow was chosen to mark a break from Japan's past, with the intention of creating a new long-term project. As the music turned out to be less commercial than originally envisaged, all members of the band aside from Sylvian became amenable to the idea of retaining the Japan moniker, in order to gain maximum exposure.

Please check out my excellent feedback and if you have any queries then please do not hesitate to ask.  I offer a 100% no quibble refund if you are not entirely satisfied.  ‘Proof of Postage’ is obtained for all posted items.  My postage policy does not include combined postage, the benefit to you the customer is exceptionally low starting prices plus PayPal and eBay transaction insurance is void when combining individual purchases.  Please don’t ask (it get embarrassing) and I do not do cheaper postage if I remove bespoke item packaging.  I am fair and transparent to all my valued eBay customers and I do not make exception.  All my items are internally packed with either bespoke record packaging, strong cardboard and/or bubble-wrap and are as such typically more expensive to post and not like the cheap postage items on offer on eBay that come without the extra protection.

My grading is very strict and not left to chance.

All of my items are available to view before bidding should you choose to do so.
