<description><![CDATA[It took Dead Can Dance to find the common ground between black-clad gloom rockers and Birkenstock-sporting new agers. They accomplished this by emphasizing the melancholia in their mix of mesmerizing vocals, catchy drum beats, synthy world music, European Renaissance folk and modern studio wizardry. Wrapping it all in Joy Division-style album covers helped lure in the alternative rock crowd. The amazing part was that they never watered any element down, but created a world and a sound all their own. They plunge you into a Technicolor <i>Seventh Seal</i> that shows the beauty in death and disease while keeping the chess-playing grim reapers at a safe distance. For those who love Siouxsie Sioux <i>and</i> herbal tea -- Dead Can Dance are the Tuck and Patti for the Anne Rice set.

<description><![CDATA[Otherworldly chanteuse Lisa Gerrard was Dead Can Dance's dark angel, and her solo career finds her floating in even more bleakly luxurious pools of sound. She still stirs an arty Goth cauldron of symphonic film scores, dramatic world music, and brimstone-scented Medieval motifs for over-eyelinered waifs to study -- like Eliza Doolittle dumping Professor Higgins for his Satanic Majesty.
