I wish I knew, Cutty, but thanks for asking. ;) Maybe you could look the band up on You Tube first and go about it that way? I trust you understand that on any given DCD album, there are songs sung by the lady and songs sung by the dude, and they give a different vibe. (By the way, incase there is any remaining doubt, I DO love you for that Cocteau Twins clip you posted that I jizzed over. In fact, it encouraged some soul from Ohio to post some really obscure music to my blog. Can't argue with that.)

Not exactly new news though, was first announced over a year ago and has already been mentioned on other DCD/Perry threads.

yr right, how could anybody have forgotten the maelstrom of press that attended "possible Dead Can Dance reunion in the future at some point" rumors
― ...wouldn't need the talcum powder (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Monday, 16 May 2011 16:57 (2 years ago) Permalink
they weren't rumours, Perry made an official announcement in March 2010 about a new DCD album and tour in 2012

i found an old CD of Dead Can Dance...into the labrynth, it was my wifes and i never really listened to them
but it's kind of amazing how their style really became so influential in movie and video game music

like esp the sort of "world music" female vox and percussion in a dramatic setting, like if you are spelunking tomb or something
Flashback to goth/rivethead/incipient programmers in the early 1990s mainlining those CDs as they pull all night sessions with their SLIP connections and I think the explanation is clear.

think it was Baraka that really sealed their position in this field, it was very influential at the time

new album is good news as long as it's better than fucking Spiritchaser
much love for DCD otherwise!

lisa gerrard did a bunch of film music though so it's not that surprising.

I was gonna say, it's probably her that you hear on those soundtracks/ videogames.
― LeRooLeRoo, Monday, 16 May 2011 21:26 (2 years ago) Permalink
imo a lot of her solo work is as good as/better than a lot of dcd
