Dead Can Dance's Into the Labyrinth

Into the Labyrinth is wonderful. If you get a chance to see Lisa Gerard perform live, don't miss it. If you want to enjoy some of the early music that infleuences her world music, and hear, if you can believe it, an even MORE remarkable voice than Lisa's with an even greater range, check out the stunning recording on Alia Vox of "El Cant De La Sibil-La", Montserrat Figueras & Jordi Savall in
La Capella Reial De Catlunya. Make sure to get the Alia Vox version as there are two and the AV version is superior in every way. I'd recommend this recording to anyone who likes Gerard, as well as anyone who is passionate about music. It is a stunning recording, done in a stone church in Paris. The ambience, soundstage, and the sheer beauty of this piece and Figueras performance is enough to bring tears from a rock!

Marco, you are so damn passionate, I couldn't resist. Hard to find the Alia Vox, but it's done. Just ordered that baby. I took a gander at your system, to see if you are a serious audiophool. lol.. Arkive Music said that they would refund my money if I don't cry. Eyes welling up?-- no refund.. Can't beat that deal...I'll keep you posted.

You should give immortal memory by Lisa Gerrard a listen. 4ad had many great bands-this mortal coil, lush, cocteau twins and still has a lot of new releases worth giving a spin.

dont forget this one has the first dcd takes in the garage,

Warren- Better get your hanky out! Try not to get any tears about those lovely Caravelle's you are going on about all the time.

Let us know if it moves you as much as it does me. It'd be one of my desert island CD's for sure.
