Dead Can Dance........

[OzAurora]

Anybody else into this band???? if not then you should be- they are absolutley amazing, if you like stuff that is kinda Enigma/Enya/Clannad with a medi-evil/ambient tiwst then they are for you- the two core members of the band are Australian and have been working together for years, if any of you remember the haunting music from the movie 'The Insider' they were ones who did that- I recommend any of you who like worldy kind of music that has breathtaking vocals and haunting sounds to try some of their music try any of these songs,

Wow, i just recommended them to you in the recommend you music thread. Guess it was a waste.

Rakim, Song of the Disposessed, Sanvean, and most of Aion are my favourites.

Hey Bono_man.. have you heard Air and Zero 7 and Mandalay? chilling to the max

I'm really into chillout music these days. Oh, and get Dusted's album at all costs!
Not sure I'd totally call Dead Can Dance chillout, but very sweet.

Alright that's enough digression for me.

I went through a Dead Can Dance phase a few years back. I took a break from them and only recently pulled out Toward the Within and the live album, Into the Labyrinth and gave them another listen. I still like their music alot for the most part but there are moments when it gets a little too new agey for me. Most of the time, I enjoy the pieces that are more Brendan Perry than Lisa Gerard. I didnt know they were aussies. That kinda tripped me out.

Oh and Skeek, I am enjoying Zero 7 right now too.
