Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Sign of the Southern Cross formed in Victoria, Australia around 1989, with guitarist Tim Powles and bassist Paul May at the core. They released their debut album 'Chakana' in 1992, which earned some critical notice but didn't find much commercial traction.
Their second album 'Eating the Sun' came out in 1996, with the title track becoming one of their better-known pieces. The record showed their interest in instrumental rock with a progressive feel, leaning into atmospheric arrangements rather than conventional song structures.
Beyond those two albums and a handful of tracks like 'Appointed Reaper' and 'Dead Skies,' there isn't much solid documentation about what came next for them. The existing history trails off around that period without clear details about later releases or activity.
