Dead Can Dance-Toward The Within

A live CD recorded in Santa Monica, Ca in 1993. I didn’t like this as much as yesterday’s compilation CD. Not to say that Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard don’t sound great but too much of the music has that Middle Eastern sound I don’t like. Gerrard sings an unaccompanied solo on the traditional “The Wind That Shakes The Barley”. “I Am Stretched On Your Grave”, another traditional song, showcases their Darkwave sound. Robert Perry plays the flute on “Piece For Solo Flute”. “American Dreaming” a modern song by Brendan Perry was another one I liked. These four were the highlights of this CD for me.
