The Morrighan
The Morrighan are songwriter and producer Jon Crosse and vocalist Cecily Fay, who met when Jon was recording the 1995 anthem 'Are You Out There' under the guise of Cresendo. Shortly afterwards they recorded 'Remember' which became a hit throughout club land. Violinist Audrey Morse and Jon Klein, formerly of Siouxsie & The Banshees and Sinead O' Connor, joined the band to complete the live line-up.

Track Listing:

Released 1999 on Serious Records. Written and produced by Cecily Fay and Jon Crosse. Lyrics and vocals by Cecily Fay. Additional remix and production on track 2 by Lange. The Original 12" Mix is an decent trancer that has many elements of Jon Crosse's earlier ('95) production Cresendo - Are You Out There?, where deep spoken male vocals combine with dramatic orchestral strings. But head straight for the Lange remix, where Lange reworks this into a powerful vocal trance epic - enough said!

Released 6/00 on Positiva Records. Tracks 1-5 written by Lange, Cecily Fay & Jon Crosse. Vocals by Cecily Fay. Produced by Lange. Track 6 written by Lange and Sarah Dwyer. Produced by Lange. I'm not sure how Positiva, a UK based label, have managed to bend the rules and deliver 5 full length mixes on one CD single; this is exactly how singles should be, rather than the pathetic limits of two mixes plus a radio edit that the CIN (Chart Information Network) enforces on UK releases. Anyway, this new single from Lange is a quality vocal based trance number with a potential commercial crossover due to its vocal content. Good remixes from all quarters, especially DJ JamX & De Leon who toughen up the beats and deliver a more meaty version of this track with a much less vocal content. The bonus here is 'I Believe', which is Lange's big vocal based trancer from 1999, released on Additive Records (Positiva's daughter label). An all round good single, although if you're scared of vocals you'd best avoid.
