C Cat Trance were a post-punk band from Nottingham, England, formed by John Rees Lewis after his departure from Medium Medium. They released five albums before splitting up in the mid-1990s.
After leaving Medium Medium, Rees Lewis formed C Cat Trance with original Medium Medium drummer Nigel Kingston Stone. [1] While similar in some respects to Medium Medium, they incorporated World music elements, releasing a self-titled debut mini-LP in 1983 on the Red Flame label. [1] [2] Subsequent releases were on the Red Flame sub-label Ink, starting with the "Dreams of Leaving" 12-inch single. They released one album a year between 1985 and 1987 and another in 1992 before splitting up.
John Rees Lewis later returned to a reformed Medium Medium.
Cherry Red released a collection of the band's best material in 2005. [2]
In August 2024, the label confirmed the death of Rees Lewis, describing him as "a master of fusing elements of synth pop, electronic, tribal rhythms, post-punk and psychedelia". [3]
