Sheffield, England (1981 – present)
In the Nursery are a neo-classical electronic band, known for their cinematic sound. As a result, they have provided soundtracks to a variety of TV programmes and films, and are known for their rescoring of films.
Twin brothers Klive and Nigel Humberstone and Anthony Bennett formed this Sheffield, England-based band in 1981. The trio were originally associated with the UK’s industrial music scene, releasing the six-track When Cherished Dreams Come True in June 1983. The “Witness (To A Scream)” single and Sonority EP followed before the band moved to the Sweatbox label for the fearsome Temper EP.
The full-length Twins was recorded without the departed Bennett at Bradford’s Flexible Response Studio. The album adopted a more subtle approach by favouring theatrical atmospherics over industrial clatter. Multi-lingual vocalist Dolores Marguerite C made her debut on the Trinity EP adding French narration to “Elegy’. Dolores and military-styled percussionist Q were added to the line-up on the subsequent Stormhorse, the soundtrack to an imaginary film that provided the cinematic blueprint for all their future recordings.
The quartet’s final recording for Sweatbox, 1988’s Köda, completed the transition to a classical instrumental sound and utilised computer sequencing in the recording process for the first time. Following the collapse of Sweatbox the band moved to Third Mind Records to complete the delicate L’Esprit. The album was recorded with engineer Steve Harris who had contributed to Köda and would feature on all the band’s subsequent releases up to 1995.

Thank you for the album An Ambush of Ghosts, what an album to drown misery in misery. I leave the experience feeling rather placid.

The reason they are tagged as industrial is because their earlier work consisted of mostly that. They have since adapted a very neo-classical and electronic sound now.

Artisans Of Civilisation is my introduction into this band, I like it, sounds like Ex-Voto or other '90's goth type sound. Is that song a good representation of this band? If it is, I might check out more...

@ VernianProcess: I think genres are unnecessary. What about more creative tags like soundtrack, cinematic, atmospheric, ethereal, dreamy?

"Woman" is the first track I heard of theirs. Anyone know their second best? Most likely all of them all are the best.
