I recently picked up a copy of "Into the Labyrinth"....wonderful CD. While listening to the last cut (sorry, last track)on the CD my mind sort of wandered a bit & I thought I was listening to Jim Morrison for a moment. There are hints of the Paul Winter Consort(Common Ground) in this CD also.
I also picked up a copy of "El Cant De La Sibil-La". As was mentioned earlier it's a bit hard to find, but I think I found the right source. Very Nice!
Keep 'em coming folks! |

Funny, I hear Jim Morrison and Paul Winter too. Very often I hear something in the music that reminds me of another group or tune and people I am with either understand or they don't. My son who I love more than anyone else on this earth, can never pick up these traits. When I tell him what I'm hearing and name the two groups he either stares at me blankly or tells me I'm wrong. Thanks for reminding me of the parallel in Dead Can Dance. |
Live 2 cd sets of DCD's 2005 Euro tour can be found here... http://www.dcddiscs.com/ |
I've bought no less than 6 new CD's as a result of this thread. All of them good. One of them I picked up is my favorite of the bunch - it's Lisa Gerrard and Patrick Cassidy: "Immortal Memory". I picked it up somewhat accidentally while surfing Amazon.com. I spotted the title, and connected it to to the discussion here of "Immortal Coil". I had only a vague recollection at the time, obviously.
If anyone is inteested in another Lisa Gerrard piece - this one is great. It's on the mellow side, and beautiful vocals. |
Here's another Dead Can Dance tribute CD that was released Sept.05,2005 on Projekt Records titled "Summoning of the muse ~ a tribute to Dead Can Dance" Song samples and reviews |
Jax2, I already had 'El Cant de la Sibyl', but it is the 'wrong' version. So I've ordered the one on Alia Vox.
Talk about synchronicity--just as I was reading this thread, I was listening to Sibyl...wrong version though it may be, it is haunting indeed. |
Thank you for the link Richingoth! I've mine ordered... |
October 8, in Radio City Music Hall NYC. Don't Miss! |
Dead Can Dance is doing a small north american tour in the major cities this fall after touring europe this spring/summer after a six year break to pursue other projects. The NYC show is my closest but i'm not going to be there then so i'm seeing the Auditorium Theater show in chicago on the 12th. I can hardly wait! |

"The Show" has just announced a 180 gm. 3 disc set of the Dead Can Dance North American tour, more info can be found at http://www.dcddiscs.com/vinyl/ . It's limited to 300 sets,I believe...
All the best! |
I can stand the price, particularly since Lisa Gerrard signs each copy but wonder if this live recording will be up to the standards of their previous releases. Any info on that Gordus?
Thank you for the link, I'm a big fan. |
Hi Albert,
The only experience I have with this label is my purchase of two of the Euro tour CD's and they were both excellent, both as recordings and in thier custom packaging. I can only presume/expect that those standards will be met with the vinyl edition. I'll most definitely pick up two of the NA concerts in CD as well... Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

Funny to stumble upon this thread here...I used to listen to a lot of the 4AD bands when I was in high school in the 80s, and saw Dead Can Dance play at Berklee in Boston in 1990 (the same month as a Cocteau Twins show I also saw), around the time they were moving from their original, darker sound into more medieval- and classical-influenced territory. It was an interesting show (particularly their cover of Sinead O'Connor's then-hit "I Am Stretched on Your Grave," sung by Brendan rather than Lisa).
Just a minor correction/clarification for those interested: "This Mortal Coil" is not the title of a compilation album, but rather 4AD head honcho Ivo Watts-Russell's band/studio project--really just a loose collective of musicians connected to the 4AD label and other similar labels. Their first release was a 1983 12" titled "Song to the Siren" (a cover of the Tim Buckley song)--members of Cocteau Twins played on this one, but not DCD. "It'll End in Tears" was the LP released in 1984; "Filigree & Shadow" was a double LP released in 1986; and "Blood" was an LP from 1990, I think. After that I lost track with most things 4AD. Note that a lot of TMC's songs are, of course, covers--of Tim Buckley, Big Star (the third album), Colin Newman (formerly of the classic punk band Wire), Talking Heads, Gene Clark, Judy Collins, Van Morrisson, etc.

More wonderful Lisa Gerard haunting vocals in her soundtrack for 'Whalerider' - great movie as well! |
Message for AM_Dial.. that Cocteau Twins show you saw in 1990, was that the tour with Galaxie 500? I've always been depressed that I didn't catch that tour, I was in Cleveland but they played in Columbus..
Thanks,

Mason--
No, and yes--Cocteau Twins played Boston in, I think, November 1990, I believe at the Orpheum. This was the show I saw about a week before or after the Dead Can Dance show.
I did see Galaxie 500 open for Cocteau Twins at the Boston University ice hockey arena --but that was in March 1991. And it was by far the more memorable show of the two--BU had placed thick pads down over the ice (hockey season had yet to end; BU's team is usually good), but even before Galaxie 500 was done playing, my feet were freezing. Of course (as the Galaxie 500 box set liner notes explain), this was the next-to-last show Galaxie 500 ever played. Glad I caught them then! I remember Dean Wareham doing some amazing e-bow guitar during "Hearing Voices."

I got to see DCD at Radio City Music Hall on 10/8. Fabulous show in a great venue, and one of only two shows on the tour done with an orchestra. Very different show than the 1998 tour - much more solo Lisa stuff. She can sing the most incredibly difficult vocal parts with no sign of strain - amazing.
This tour is over, but since they sold out everywhere and Brendan and Lisa got through it without killing each other, I'd be surprised if they didn't get out on the road again soon. They're not to be missed.
