Jorge I'm just sitting here laughing about you going into Target looking for a limited edition, numbered, SACD Dead Can Dance box set. I can't believe they didn't have it :-)
Yo, Synthfreek: I wasn't looking for the box set, either one of them, though i bought the standard 9 set from idealcopy after striking out big time. I was really only looking for 3 or 4 titles and i would've been fine. But, yeah, i can see the humor in that!!! That's how we rabid DCD fans roll! Bring back Tower! Bring back Tower!!!!!!!!
Since I'm new to DCD, I'm just wondering if there is any consensus on which of the nine SACDs might be considered essential? Any advise on which SACDs to start with will be appreciated.
Of the new SACD's, I'd suggest starting with their live '94 album, "Toward the Within." It has many of their best songs from their first six albums plus new tracks (at the time.) It's a nice long collection of very well recorded material. It might not be quite the sonic equal of their best studio recordings, but the performances are great and it is a good overview of their oeuvre.
