Dead Can Dance - Spleen and Ideal (1985)

Dead Can Dance - Spleen and Ideal

  "Spleen and Ideal" is the second album released by Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard and the dawn of a new era for DCD parting ways with their goth genre tendencies.   Perry and Gerrard introduce us on this album to the sound that would come to define their unique approach to music with imaginative cosmic and mystically atmospheric songs.

  DCD albums are to live for and require your commitment to listening i order to really grasp.  When i was a young kiddi boo boo i would never have listened to is music but I discovered this band in University and since have never looked back.   I have followed this band very closely and have all their albums just finally getting around to spinning this gem again.

  DCD are best known as a band that would incorporate rare and uncommmon instruments into their music (Brandon Perry is a huge instrument collector) blending Eastern and World music elements into their captivating mystic stylings.  Everything is left to your imagination and every DCD album is to die for and "Spleen and Ideal" is pure heavenly magic !
