Oh there is a Cranes thread. I love them. My favorite is probably 'Wings of Joy', and I'm very fond of their earlier, more industrial colored stuff like 'Fuse' and 'Self-Non-Self'.
Has anybody listened to their conceptual album from 1996. 'La Tragédie d'Oreste et Électre' (Tragedy of Orestes and Electra). It's very good, I mean who wouldn't want to listen to Alison Shaw recite in French. It's based on the Greek myth, but more on Sartre's adaptation. The music is atmospheric enriched with orchestrations and sometimes with dark cabaret vibe. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything on youtube for illustration.
