Dead Can Dance - Within the Realm of a Dying Sun


Dead Can Dance - Within the Realm of a Dying Sun (4AD, 1987). A spellbinding collection of eight lovingly crafted, keyboard-driven songs and instrumental mood pieces, split between the contrasting vocal styles of Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry. From the brooding and beguiling Gothicism of Anywhere Out of the World to the exotic lure and captivating rhythms of Cantara - an atmospheric album brimming with ethereal grandeur, best enjoyed at night.
