Free Music Notes for Spiritchaser
Free Music Review: A fine conclusion to a brilliant career.
Hit: 5 Stars
With all the music I've reviewed so far, I can't believe I forgot Dead Can Dance.
I just watched Steven King's The Mist and one of DCD's songs is in the movie. The Host of Seraphim off The Serpent's Egg. Anyway.......Spirit Chaser.
Spirit Chaser was my introduction to the band.
It was, I believe 1996 and I read a review of this disc and it was very good.
So I decided to check it out.
Now, being primarily a metal head I didn't exactly "get" what these two were trying to accomplish.
I really hated it at first, but as the years pass so do changes in taste.
I can say this is probably my second favorite DCD disc right after Within the Realm of a Dying Sun.
It's definitely a lot different from their past releases.
A lot less goth sounding and WAY more tribal feeling.
Still amazing, still brilliant.
My favorite is Indus; Lisa Gerard is probably my favorite female singer on the planet.
He voice is so unusual, unique and mind blowing, it's hard to describe.
I can see why she won the Oscar for The Insider and Gladiator.
Brendan Perry also is a hard one to describe; his voice is very versatile, unique and beautiful.
Then again doesn't that really sum up DCD?
They really are one of the few groups that are almost impossible to shove into one musical category.
That's why I ended up falling in love with this group and especially this disc.
It may drag in a few places, and like a lot of DCD material, it does get a little repetitive in places.
But with Perry's music and Gerard's vocals, who cares.
No one can touch what these two accomplished in such a short time.
I'm just glad their enjoying continued success apart from each other.
Spirit Chaser?
Brilliant, beautiful, exotic, impossible to classify and completely unforgettable.
This may not be the best place to start if you're new to DCD since it's SO different from their past material.
I would start with Within the Realm of a Dying Sun or The Serpents Egg. The Host of Seraphim off of Serpents Egg is reason enough to check out the disc.
Spirit Chaser..........RECOMMENDED!!!
Spiritchaser Poster
Listening to Dead Can Dance is a transcendental experience. Enriched with dedications to the living Gaia, their creations subsist in natural and other worldly realms. Initially crafting songs which augmented their Australian roots with Gothic and Renaissance traditions, the group have since grown to encompass a hybrid of global sounds. On Spiritchaser the enchanted souls of founding members Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard shine in this, their most ethereal LP to date. Whereas earlier endeavors succumbed to genres grounded in eras of the past and non-Western present, it's immediately apparent that this album has loftier aspirations. Hypnotically threaded with traditional and electronic instruments, the exorcism of each song touches upon the universal essence beyond. While Gerrard's heavenly vocals are used primarily for instrumental effect, Perry's fertile lyricism both compliments her efforts and expresses the spiritual associations related to the album's title and meaning. Intrinsically delivered with shamanistic connectivity, the sensations ritualize the modern mortal. --Lucas HilbertOut of print in the U.S.! Import pressing of this 1996 album, the final release from one of the 4AD label's most popular and influential bands. At the core of Dead Can Dance is guitarist Brendan Perry and vocalist Lisa Gerard, who created a body of work that remains invigorating and uniquely their own. Eight tracks. 4AD.
