Hue & Cry started life on Circa Records with Greg Kane still at school and brother Pat about to graduate from Glasgow University. Their second single ‘A Labour of Love’ made it to No.6 in the UK charts and the first album "Seduced and Abandoned" gave Circa their first long playing hit. Appearing with Madonna at Wembley and U2 at the Glasgow SEC confirmed them as the late 80’s bright young things.

Hue & Cry release their tenth, and most innovative, studio album on Linn Records on June 21st, 1999. "Next Move" combines the latest digital production techniques, together with the hottest of British jazz talent - including Scottish sax colossus Tommy Smith - to make the most remarkable record of the Kane brothers' 12-year career.

"Next Move" takes the spirit of "jazznotjazz" - a dialogue between the jazz tradition and non-jazz forms - into new areas. Using the latest 'Digital Domain' production methods, and the talents of players like drummer Ian Thomas (Eric Clapton, Sting), bassist Lawrence Cottle (Dennis Chambers), keyboard player Brian Kellock and saxman Tommy Smith (John Scofield, Ray Brown), Pat and Greg were able to explore every one of their favourite musical extremes.

From hard bebop (their screaming cover of Prince's Sign O The Times) to unstoppable drum'n'bass (Speed O' Lite). From torch ballads (their version of Harry Connick Jnr. Sonny Cried) to smooth r'n'b (I Didn't Know). From Nuyorican latin-funk (24/7) to simple piano-vocal (Pawn of the Weekend).

But it's all still anchored to the powerful songwriting of the Kane brothers - Greg's soulful music and classic arrangements, Pat's signature vocals and lyrics.

Selections: She Moves Through The Wires, I Didn't Know, Sign 'O' The Times, Sonny Cried, Once In A Lifetime, Next Move, 24/7, Speed O' Lite, Pawn Of The Weekend.
