Spiritchaser (Ltd Ed)

"Spiritchaser" is also a very earthy, sexual CD for me. As the liner notes state, there is a belief that organic instruments, made from living creatures, then contain part of the soul of the creature and make each instrument the voice of the soul from which it was created. That kind of reverence permeates the eight songs on "Spiritchaser," where the sounds and the voices seem to manage to seep into the listener's essence, touching hearts as gently as they touch minds. (Although you have to smile as the song "Indus" gracefully references George Harrison's "Within You Without You.") To close, "Spiritchaser" is the kind of CD you listen to when you wish to have an environment that surrounds and envelops you.

PS. I will heartily recommend this CD to fans of Delerium, Deep Forest and earlier Enigma, even though they are only marginally related.

YES, the voice of Lisa Gerrard is beautiful BUT can't be appreciated in this boring disc. Some sounds and nice, but the way in which they mixed them.....It's just noise. They tried to make an "ethnic" disc but they failed. I repet by buying this disc.

Dead can dance always knew how to make specific dark music coming straight out of the darkest parts of the mind."Spiritcahser",their last studio album brings us hte atmosphere of middle-east,some ancient civilizations but also 19-century spain and some other places.Brendan Perry,the brain of band plays on a lot of intrumets but also he colours it with a bit of electronic sounds.Lisa Gerrard's voice gently flows over the music...
this poetical and wonderfull mjsuic is best to listen in the dark,when you will relax yourself and prepare to take yuorself away in a distant journey...listen and lets your mind flow.get "spiritchaser" now!

I really love this album, I have all DCD albums, except the Box Set. From all the albums of DCD I think this one is quite moodly, my favourite songs are: Song of the Stars, Nierika, Dedicacé Outó, Indus and Devorzhum, I think songs like Song of the Disposessed and The Snake and the Moon are another kind of music, not DCD, I don't like these too much, but I can listen to them without getting bored. When I listen to Song of the Stars I fall in a deep dream, I can imagine a tribal dance, some aborigens dancing to the stars and the moon, and I can imagine it's raining. This is my favourite song of DCD I really like the words said by Brendan Perry and the angelical voice of Lisa Gerrard. Great album!
