Dead Can Dance
 

Cantara


Gets me everytime.

Host of the Seraphim or Chant of the Paladin for me.

great fucking band :thumbsup

saw them live a few years back at the universal amphitheatre...wow.

There is just something awesome about that girls voice in Cantara, its fucken insane and...

Beautiful.

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..

Oh man, I had a fun youth..

awsome :thumbsup

i am suprised.. didnt think anyone would like DCD :)

The Host of Seraphim for sure a great track.. one of their bests..


but..
"Persephone" is even a bit better i think :).. well all a matter of taste.

and not to forget "Summonig Of The Muse " which is very nice too..

ah well, you could list alot of DCD tracks .. one of the best bands in that "genre" back their days..

loveful :)

ps.. i am doing dark-wave / gothic music myself.. if anyone is interested let me know :)
got some mp3s

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..

..which we were sortof =)

links to download some of these?

i agree, but in "Persephone" the voice is even better.. how she plays witch her voice.. also "ocean".. great voice too :)

i can imagine that.. must have been wonderful :)

Lisa Gerard is still kicking ass, I thought the Gladiator soundtrack was pretty good, and I heard something new just recently, some other movie, maybe Passion of the Christ???

Anyway, post some links..

btw. I'm listening to them now, can't really ever get enough, Persephone is quite deep..

Wow, that must've been incredible, never got the chance to see them.. :(

Uploading now..

Persephone .. i like the mid part.. how it gets "dramatic" .. ah well. cant really explain in english.. :)

yep.. some of the gladiator sound track stuff was nice.. i was some kind happy for her that she made her way to earn some more $$$ :).. i mean, with her voice she deserves it :)..
its nice to see her back

links? let me look

Oh I got all the albums.

Desert Song : 4:20

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 :)

thanks for making me feel old. i have no idea what you guys are talking about. i thought for sure it would be my own kids making me feel out of the loop but noooooooooooooooooo:disgust :1orglaugh

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

aww. dont feel old.. i feel old while listening to the 80s music .. :)

just amazing :thumbsup
the set, the drums...wow...unforgettable... i have a rare unreleased cd that they gave out only 4 copies that night... never before heard stuff...ill rip and upload :thumbsup

A bit underground too..

this link for people who havent heard them live.. thats what i call a real great voice :)
listen to it with a headphone.. the quality is not so good.. its a bootleg :/
but anyway.. you get an idea of her voice :)

DCD - Track 19 Live Bootleg (maybe Ocean)

WOw peaceful and relaxing. Good stuff

you do that.. would be nice :)

Go ahead and post any bootlegs/concerts you have, I'd love to hear it..

Ok this one made me think of jefferson airplane with a mixture of Grace Slick/Bjork

A few songs http://www.sexymojo.com/music/

great. eventhou i was already uploading Persephone... :)

*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 :winkwink:

this mortal coil..

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.

I am soooooooooooooooooooo jealous!

PLEASE DO!

I can't find a huge smilie face, so this will have to do. :)

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. :)

You're my new best friend, just thought you might like to know. :)

Heh, I have more if you want I can upload, will take a while though.. ask away..

I've got most of their stuff already. Unless you have something highly unusual, there's no need, thanks. :D

They make some of the best scene music.

I know many masters who like to flog their subs while DCD is playing...

:thumbsup
