At the strangest: everything else The dominant voice of Lisa Gerrard's strange to hear a little less than Brendan Perry. Although his voice is benefiting from its unaccustomed freedom, but only in a few pieces (especially "The Return of the King She-") flashes the maelstrom effect of classics such as "Song of the Sibyl" for a few moments on. One might almost suspect that the parts of the singer was "flown" with modern electronic production methods without personal presence that the plate was not really wanted by both, was only under pressure from the record company or the singer. That's a real problem, since "Dead Can Dance" has no Lisa Gerrard lost their soul. Your evocative singing their mantras of mystery in an understandable language for us was in its best moments a deep suction, a dark glowing magic unfold, which one could not escape, did not want to. Unforgettable: "Sanvean", "Song of the Sibyl," and "Fortune presents Gifts Not According To The Book" from unassailable masterpiece "Aion".
What Lisa G. managed on their solo albums with various accompanying musicians repeatedly: recharge captivating melodies by her voice with depth and meaning (as with Klaus Schulze: "And now we are free" or "Sacrifice" with Pieter Bourke) - and moments to merge pure, lonely beauty that succeeds here only a hint, like a distant echo of past perfection.
On Anastasis believed to hear only set pieces, attempts to reclaim Gigs and sleeping dominated. Somehow good music, kind of interesting, but who wants to hear something from Dead Can Dance?
Hard to imagine that Dead Can Dance once again find the creative power to create another masterpiece. Heavy as well, to say that the diamond is gone ....
