Tragedy of Orestes and Electra is a limited-edition adaptation of Sartre's Les Mouches. The Cranes have written a chamber-music backdrop for Alison Shaw's narration, which floats over cellos and harpsichords. It's more of an interesting side-project than an actual album, and its ambitions often out-strip its achievements, but it is fascinating for hardcore Cranes fans. [Only 4000 copies of Tragedy of Orestes and Electra were pressed.]
