    Rain Tree Crow

    David Sylvian , Steve Jansen , Richard Barbieri , Mick Karn , the names are familiar but not the sound.

    After the disbanded from those glamorous new wave group : Japan , all this intellegent musician go follow their own path . Then they meet again on this crossroad called ; Rain Tree Crow. .. a soft fragile beauty of a plaintive and emotive atmospheric ambient pop music . Incredebille soundscape that takes you into endless isolated beauty .

    Labels : Virgin Records
    Released : UK 1991
