This album took my brain by storm when I discovered it mid 1990s. It still mesmerizes.

If you ever have the chance to see the live film of this performance at the Mayfair Theatre in Santa Monica you should jump at it. Unfortunately I cant’t find a recording online to watch.

I think I found a version of the old VHS recording. I am not sure of this upload is legit but it seems to be. I dont know how long it will be available:

Pleased to have found the online video, since I’d forgotten that there are short interview clips between songs where they talk about their creative work.

Brendan Perry has released two heavy solo records.

Lisa Gerrard has pushed her talents into some fantastic movie scores and soundtracks.

Dead Can Dance have released several albums and recordings since this one and they are all powerfully moving experiences.

Enjoy.
