Healed and Restored Cutting Crew reimagines songs with an orchestra

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI

When Cutting Crew’s Nick Van Eede released the song “(I Just) Died in Your Arms,” he was frequently told he should perform it with an orchestra.

Thirty-fi ve years later, the singer did just that.

With a sound that helped defi ne the 1980s music scene, Cutting Crew returned with “Ransomed Healed Restored Forgiven,” featuring the band’s songs recreated with a full philharmonic orchestra

and longtime guitarist Gareth Moulton.

“You dream of those kinds of things happening, but I thought we would leave well enough alone. That’s been drummed into me by my long-departed father. To tackle something as big as ‘(I Just) Died in Your Arms,’ I enjoyed every minute of it.”

The Grammy-nominated rock band was formed in England in 1985 by Van Eede with original guitarist, writer and fellow conspirator from Canada Kevin MacMichael.

Within months, the band signed with Siren Records/Virgin on the strength of its demos.

Cutting Crew, becoming a foursome in 1986, entered the studio the same year to record the multimillion-selling debut album “Broadcast,” one year before “(I
