Dead Can Dance is a World Music fusion band formed in Melbourne, Australia. I was first introduced to the band by a friend of mines wife, who after looking through a small case of discs I travel with, suggested I might like them. I admitted I had heard the name mentioned in interviews with some of the more experimental Heavy Metal artists I listen to, and would give it a try. She brought out some CDs for me to try, and also offered a couple Yanni and Enya discs at the same time (No offense to fans of those two artists but I have tried them, they are not for me). I took the Dead Can Dance left the other stuff and went on my merry stoner way. When I got home I popped it in a disc and the sounds that came at me amazed. Music so hypnotic as to almost be transcendental. Lush soundscapes and a voice like an angel singing an aria. Lachrymosely beautiful and engulfing. Download this show, put on some headphones and drift away.

Another fabulous performance from Dead Can Dance, this time an FM broadcast of a show from the tour to promote Aion. This is a very clean sounding recording that should be enjoyed with headphones and a fine glass of wine (or maybe a smoke!). If you have enjoyed the previous Dead Can Dance uploads you shouldn't miss this one either.
