Dead Can Dance
Oct. 11th, 2005 10:43 amThe Strathmore Music Center is a lovely venue.
Now that I've seen Brendan Perry live, I have a new appreciation for him. I've always thought he was cool, but hearing his voice live was a great experience. And he can play every instrument on stage...and there were a lot! (Including a hurdy gurdy, which did nothing to diminish my wife's unholy desire to possess one) I have a newfound and even greater (if that's possible) respect for him.
Lisa Gerrard is from another planet. Her voice is the sound of the music of the spheres. And she can sing the blues. "Hymn for the Fallen" is a great song (and unusual for Dead Can Dance). It's not on any of their albums, so I ordered the live recording just to hear that again.
