Ransomed Healed Restored Forgiven
Cutting Crew return with a stellar new album featuring their best-loved songs recreated in a completely new style. Now with the added emotion and power of a full philharmonic orchestra, vocalist, Nick Van Eede and long-time Cutting Crew guitarist, Gareth Moulton, look to both their die-hard fanbase and new generations of 80’s acolytes to enjoy tracks which just refuse to get old!
Broadcast
Skelley Yakus and Jimmy Iovine at the helm in A&M studios Los Angeles. The band practically moved to LA for 87/88 (staying at the historic Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel for months…what a drag??) as they toured as headliners and on packages with The Bangles, Huey Lewis and Starship.
The Scattering
Tricky sophomore release that took far too long and lost the band momentum but, although not as big a seller as Broadcast, recognized by fans and press as their finest hour and still sold over a million.
Compus Mentus
…and then there were two! Frosty and Colin moved on, leaving Nick and Kevin to steer the Crew’s final album home. Recorded at Mill Studios in Maidenhead UK (previously owned by Jimmy Page).
Grinning Souls
Written in Barbados, recorded in Canada and dedicated to his sadly missed fellow collaborator, Kevin MacMichael. A bitter-sweet collection of songs produced with Terry Brown, all with an edgy, off-the-floor sound!! 2005
The Best of Cutting Crew
A compilation of the band’s greatest songs
Add To Favourites
Superbly crafted songs, performed wonderfully well. It’s a beautiful album full of emotion: hurt, loss, laughs, frustration, peacefulness. Every song hits the mark. I sincerely hope that it doesn’t take Nick and his band another 9 years to come up with the sequel. MD review / June 2016
