12000 Miles have played ‘in analogue’ once in Manchester in 2007. The stellar flautist Iain Dixon records again for Flying Mountain to heart breaking effect.

* Migrating cranes fly in an echelon, a V-formation, so that birds following the leader save energy by not having to push aside the air as they fly
* Apollo is said to have disguised himself as a crane when on visits to the mortal world.
* Homer told of the nation of Pygmies who each Spring would wage war on the cranes on the banks of Oceanus.
* Mercury is said to have been inspired to create the shapes of the Roman alphabet after watching Cranes and their body shapes.
* When a flock of Cranes are sleeping they nominate one Crane to stand watch with a stone in it's talon/claw so that if it falls asleep the stone will fall and make a sound so the flock will know they are no longer protected
