I have a cool story about this actually. Back in my youth we found an abondoned old theatre, very huge and almost intact except it was partially flooded in the basement and there were some nasty rats roaming about. But we used to like hanging out there and experimenting with psychedelics and of course Dead Can Dance sounded magnificent in this theatre.
One day we were sitting around in the lobby on the velvety carpets and blasting Chant of the Paladin when the Chicago PD decided to do a raid in the theatre, maybe the neighbors complained as we made it into a regular hangout. You can imagine what they must've been thinking, raiding this dark abandoned, multi level theatre and Chant of the Paladin echoing everywhere..

Actually after thinking about it it was Chant of the Paladin playing because I remember the cops thought we were doing some kind of witchcraft in there..

got some live bootlegs here.. one of the very few bands i wish i would have seen live in the 80s...
her live-voice is GREAT.. no doubt.. if anyone is interested i can upload "ocean" for example .. so you can listen to her nice voice..
which means her was never was modulated / edited / harmonized by any pitcher, ptich shifter, auto pitcher etc .. which is great.. she just has a great voice

There is no out of the loop with this type of music.
Its simply timeless.

*sighs*.. this music makes me kind of melancholic
Oh yeah, believe me I'd do anything to repeat the abandoned theatre experience, being 18 and all =) I'm glad I was fortunate enough to have this great music as a backdrop to my mis-adventures

There's a couple good DCD tracks there, I really like what Cocteau Twins contributed: Song to the Siren and Another Day I think, I like both, not sure what DCD added
I want Summoning of the Muse played at my mass. I've always thought that song would make a chilling and beautiful requiem. Everytime I think about it I get shivers all over and a little misty eyed.

This is the same track that opens Serpent's Egg. It was also the first DCD I ever heard as I was slowly slipping into a hot bath. Thanks for the memory.
