Music reviews of Dead Can Dance [Re-Mastered]
Music Review: The garden has been relocated (review of Re-Mastered CD)
Rating: 3 Stars
This is a great album to include in your Dead Can Dance collection, however it is not the bands' best work. When placed next to the remaining works of the bands' catalog, DCD's debut sounds much removed stylistically from how they developed on subsequent releases. Even at this early stage the seeds of DCD's trademark sound is already being formed, although the music feels somewhat compromised by the traditional bass/drums/guitar rock/punk arrangements. "Ocean" is a particular highlight, and one of Lisa Gerrard's best vocal performances on a DCD record. Brendan Perry's songs are also well done, but his vocals are mixed with too much echo, making it very hard to understand what he's singing.
Each of the new DCD re-masters track lists are based on the original release of the LP. Unfortunately, that means the version offered here does NOT include the Garden of the Arcane Delights EP that was on the 1994 CD release. Oddly, Amazon currently lists "Carnival Of Light" and "In Power We Entrust..." as a second disc. This is not so. Only the original 10 track debut album is here. The Garden EP can be purchased separately, but it has already become scarce. Had these four songs been included I would have rated this CD a star higher.
The re-masters all sound excellent, and the earliest albums benefit from this treatment the greatest. (When shopping here look for the one's listed as "[Re-Mastered] [HYBRID SACD] [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED]"). These come in mini-LP style pockets, with a booklet inside containing reproductions of the record's sleeve (where the CD slips into), vinyl labels, a band photo, and lyrics to select songs. There will also be a gold obi card that hugs the spine (which you can see in the picture above).
Description of Dead Can Dance [Re-Mastered]
On their eponymous debut, released in 1982, they successfully harnessed a bewitching barrage of sounds, layering grinding guitars and even a dulcimer-like yang chin over a taut wash of percussion. Their range is staggering, as is their disciplined economy, with no song lasting more than four minutes or degenerating into formless cacophony.This 1984 release set the pace for the band's career, helped define the tone of the 4AD label, and opened the door for a genre that includes Delirium, Deep Forest, and Enigma. While much less dense and textural than more recent DCD, this album begins the group's study of combining global rhythms and instrumentation from various musical eras with contemporary sounds. Here they explore the somewhat Gothic electronic and rock instrumentation of post-punk European pop. Featuring the lush, sonorous vocals of Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard, this is a dark, mysterious, and compelling release. Fans of later works will not be disappointed; newcomers will find this groundbreaker a good place to meet Dead Can Dance. --Andy Stevens
