The "first" Crank album was called Wanton
Phenomena and it was released on the Phthalo
label.

The Wanton Phenomena cd on Mille Plateaux is
basically a re-release of the Crank cd on the
Phthalo label with two small differences:

. The track Lamb Baah, which appeared on the Phthalo
version of Wanton Phenomena, was removed from the 
Mille Plateaux version and put on the Modulation &
Transformation #4 compilation. 

. A new track, 10"+, was added to the end of the Mille 
Plateaux version.


Here is an old recoreview of it:
. Crank: Wanton Phenomena cd (Phthalo 04)
Another new album from Danny Zelonky aka Low Res, 
this time on Phthalocyanine’s Phthalo label. This one has 
more of an organic & percussive sound to it than this 
recent Approximate Love Boat cd on Plug Research but 
don't let that frighten you at all. Wanton Phenomena 
contains twelve tracks of quality IDM that fits in nicely 
with recent releases from Solvent, Bola, Bannlust, Epy, 
and Lustmord vs Metalbeast. Expect haunting melodies 
over crunchy, often polyrhythmic percussion with just a 
touch of experimentalism. Another great release from 
Danny Z and the Phthalo limited cdr release series. 9/10
