Free Music Review: Among the best
Hit: 5 Stars
Rarely do I take the time to actually sit down and write a review but once in a great while along comes an album so overpoweringly moving that it seems almost the only fair response one can give.
This album is easily among the most inspired works of art I've ever had the pleasure to listen to. I've had a broad range of experience musically, I've played stringed instruments for well over a decade, studied the techniques of greats such as Paganini and Beethoven and these two artists hit every note right on this album. This, along with their masterpiece "Into the Labyrinth" successfully pull off what very few people can manage in this day and age, in truth they almost embody the punk "DIY" mindset.
If you can create a sound with ancient instruments in a windy castle, great, it'll sound brilliant. Can't do that? Use a modern mixing board to layer dream scape sound over dream scape sound to create something transcendent. Still having trouble? Add a synthesizer to create the crystallization only found within digital media. What Dead Can Dance recognizes that so many bands forget is that this music is theirs. I think it was Perry who once said "we make medicine for ourselves, if it can heal others all the better", they aren't bogged down by silly notions of traditionalism or progressive styling, though they fit into both with an ease almost frightening.
If I were asked to make a list of the top 5 most artistically relevant musical achievements of all time, this album would be in that list. It is truly one of those rare masterpieces most of us only have the opportunity to hear about, well here it is folks, pure, unfettered, almost tangible and palpable art. Love it or hate it, you have to respect it or I question you're basic understanding of what constitutes music.
Within the Realm of a Dying Sun [Re-Mastered] Poster
Their third album, originally released in 1987. With record sales worldwide increasing, the band was reaching a wider audience than ever before.Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry actually manage to out-shimmer the Cocteau Twins on this 1987 release, which finds their beautiful minimalism adorned with increasingly developed compositional genius. The cascading melodies that grace "Summoning of the Muse" and "Persephone" are tailor-made for that next Christmas or Winter Solstice celebration, while more conventional (albeit somewhat somber) pop tracks like "Xavier" and "Anywhere Out of the World" keep the going from getting too arcane. All in all, more fun than a barrel of goths. --Billy Grenier
