Dead Can Dance's Into the Labyrinth


Anybody on this one? Just picked it up, after hearing Srajan, from 6moons, talking on Audio Asylum, about this cd he heard at the CES Show in Las Vegas. Actually, what I'm interested in is Dead Can Dance. Other cds. Background. Whatever. thanks in advance. peace, warren

First off...I'm not trying to be mean but I just hate it when bands I've been listening to now for nearly 20 years are the cool new thing at these audio shows. It's like how can someone have NOT heard of Dead Can Dance? If you have ANY sort of interest in music I just don't see how you would never be exposed to their music. The "I have $4000 speaker wire and 12 cds" crowd just sucks.
Spirit Chaser and Into The Labyrith are excellent on vinyl. I recomend all of their vinyl output.
No further mention of "Toward The Within"? This live set is well-recorded, and gives nothing away in terms of the music IMO.

Rakim and Yulunga are standouts there, but all the songs are good.

Also, Lisa Gerrard has done some solo music aside from the soundtrack work. Peter Nooten (sp?) and Patrick Cassidy musical partners come to mind, not sure of others.

Brendan Perry has also done work outside DCD since its ending. The one thing I heard reminded me of DCD - without Lisa :-)

Good luck, and good listening!
I liked the phenomenal dynamics and purity of the sonics so much, that it is truly a "show off" your system CD. The quality for an early 90's CD, is particulary outstanding.
I thank Slipknot for introducing it to me.
Most pleasantly surprising, although Albert has now explained it, are the vocals. Great stuff and a must buy.
Oh yeah, this is one of the "staples" of cd's in rotation every few months for the past several years... their other work is quite decent too... worth looking into.
