Aion, Mirror Pool and Serpent's Egg IMO

On The Trail of Genghis Khan is pretty great too

Loved DCD intensely for a few years around 1991. Then, unfortunately, heard them interviewed, heard the Neil Diamond songs on Into the Labyrinth and made the major error of watching Toward the Within ... in the space of a year they went from ascetic goth sonic alchemists, to credulous hippie "we like whatever is spiritual and don't want to think too hard about it" clunkers. It was the worst kind of falling out which retroactively poisoned the love I had for their previous work. It's taken me 20 years to even listen to their great early records again. "Frontier" will never tarnish though.

I watched the documentary on her years ago and was really impressed, to me she seemed like someone from a future earth where everyone was way better.
I just loved that thing she said about getting over grief from a loved one dying by focusing on your capacity for love... or something like that, but it was definitely beautiful!

Have people started calling DCD grand demons of appropriation or is their deep research of other cultures getting respect?

Was going to put this on my MP3 player but, strangely, my computer won't read either of the versions I have (from Duality and The Insider soundtrack). Weird copyright protection of the era?

five years pass...

So I wrote up a big ol' overview of her work for Shfl. And you know, I think I've *underrated* her for all these years now, and that's insane because she's been a favorite of mine for decades!

In my mind, I always compared DCD, probably unfairly, with the Cocteau Twins. They suffered by the comparison.

Very welcome and well timed! Gonna read it tonight

Also I would take DCD over Cocteaus 24-7-365

It’s crazy how the ALI score never got a commercial release

I want her to be all otherworldly and ethereal but her Instagram is like all pugs

I want to hear the recording she made of Górecki's 3rd Symphony (the "Symphony of Sorrowful Songs").

immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Friday, 26 August 2022 21:16 (one year ago) link

Her Instagram is ... not what I'd expected.
