Music reviews of Wake
Music Review: The Best Music of Its Kind!
Rating: 5 Stars
Saw them on October 4, 2005 (My Birthday) and I was totally blown away. Upon leaving the venue, I made up my mind to purchase "WAKE" as well as "Into the Labyrinth". Both were on my shopping list and I purchased both and don't regret a minute of it! My favorite songs on this collection are: YULUNGA, HOW FORTUNATE THE MAN WITH NONE, THE CARNIVAL IS OVER, RAKIM, SANVEAN, I CAN SEE NOW, AMERICAN DREAMING, THE HOST OF SERAPHIM, and CANTARA. Disc 2 features the more "known & loved" songs. On the contrary, Disc 1 features songs which I only know 3/4 of. For those who aren't aware of this remarkable duo & their equally remarkable band...you MUST buy "WAKE". It's definitely worth owning because of the quality of sound & the selection of tracks. Every track will move you, mind, body & soul.
Lisa Gerrard & Brendan Perry are 2 of the finest vocalists & musicians to walk to earth. When I saw them live for the first time, I was awestruck by Lisa's remarkable, versatile & creamy voice, as well as Brendan's calm, smooth vocals. When I closed my eyes during the songs at the concert, I was at peace. Sometimes you have to listen to the music at live concerts with your eyes closed, to get the full effect. What I discovered is the phenomenal similarity between their Studio recodings and their live music. There's virtually no difference between the both...that's how cleverly this band has mastered their craft. And that's why they've managed to earn such grand appreciation & countless fans. This compilation marked the end of DCD as a duo in 2003. Fortunately, they're back & even better than before.

The only complaints I have are extremely minor. First, the liner notes booklet seems to be slightly off (alignment-wise). I think it was intentional, yet it looks quickly put together. Secondly, "THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY" is missing in the tracklist. That 1 song is so poetic and haunting, sung by Lisa Gerrard. It's definitely worth a lend of your ear, given you've not heard it yet. With that out of the way, I'd like to talk about the discs themselves. Disc 1 is painted a matte, metallic Coppery-Bronze, and Disc 2 is a lovely matte, Blue. Regarding the packaging, everything is housed in a 2CD jewel case, which opens like a regular case, but the inner tray opens from left to right, rather than right to left. This is just to clear up any difficulties anyone may have, upon trying to open the fragile CD tray. The booklet has a lovely 7-page bio of the duo & band + on the last 2 pages, the tracks are listed chronologically, as they were released. It gives you an idea of what album you may want to buy next.
