Описание:
Garden of the Arcane Delights was released in 1984 by the group Dead Can Dance on the 4AD label.
This was the only EP release by Dead Can Dance and it was originally released as a 12″ record. Later, the four songs were added to Dead Can Dance’s self-titled debut album when it was re-released on CD.
The cover art is a sketch done by Brendan Perry and represents the themes of the song “The Arcane”. As Perry explains:
…The naked blindfolded figure, representing primal man deprived of perception, stands, within the confines of a garden (the world) containing a fountain and trees laden with fruit. His right arm stretches out – the grasping for knowledge – towards a fruit bearing tree, its trunk encircled by a snake. In the garden wall – the wall between freedom and confinement – are two gateways: the dualistic notion of choice. It is a Blakean universe in which mankind can only redeem itself, can only rid itself of blindness, through the correct interpretation of signs and events that permeate the fabric of nature’s laws.

Описание:
Spleen and Ideal is the second album recorded by Dead Can Dance, released in 1986.
A rather ethereal form of gothic music, similar to the origins of its debut album, Dead Can Dance, and followed a more world music- and neoclassical-oriented content, with lyrics based on the writings of Charles Baudelaire and Thomas de Quincey. It is considered the group’s best album from a lyrical standpoint.

Within the Realm of a Dying Sun is the third album recorded by Dead Can Dance, by now predominantly the duo Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry along with Peter Ulrich, after the departure of Scott Rodger and James Pinker in 1987.
Lisa Gerrard’s vocals feature prominently in the second half of the album, and her singing style often has mellifluous Oriental overtones, especially on the track titled “Cantara.”
The cover’s photograph was taken in Paris, at the Père-Lachaise cemetery. It features the family grave of François-Vincent Raspail.

Описание:
Into the Labyrinth is the sixth album recorded by the Dead Can Dance duo Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry.

It marked a strong shift from the previous albums, putting ethnic music influences at the forefront as would be the case in the later albums. It was their first album completed on their own without the aid of guest musicians, and their first album to have a major-label release in the U.S., thanks to a distribution deal that 4AD had with Warner Bros. Records. It featured the alternative radio hit single “The Ubiquitous Mr Lovegrove”.

Toward the Within is the only official live album of Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard’s group Dead Can Dance.

It contains 15 songs, of which only four appeared on their previous albums, and two of which were later re-recorded and included on Lisa Gerrard’s first solo album, The Mirror Pool.

Along with Perry and Gerrard were a number of musicians who had performed with them on other occasions.

Описание:
Spiritchaser is the seventh and last studio album by Dead Can Dance before Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard went their separate ways.

It expands on its exploration of world music and like Into the Labyrinth, Spiritchaser was recorded at Quivvy Church, Perry’s personal studio in Ireland.

The track “Indus” contains a melody that is very similar to the melody of “Within You Without You,” a Beatles song that George Harrison composed with Indian musicians. Although not deliberate, Perry and Gerrard were asked to contact Harrison for his permission to use it; he granted it, but the record company insisted that they give him partial songwriting credit for it.
