Gerrard and Perry are a unique duo

Write to: Dead Can Dance, SPLEEN AND IDEAL., 1985

"Spleen and Ideal" was my first CD of the genre "Neoclassical". The music appealed to me right away. Even while listening to the first track, "De Profundis (Out Of The Depths Of Sorrow)" to the music went under the skin. She seems perfectly tailored for Lisa Gerrard voice. What strikes the listener immediately, is the foreign language, singing in the Gerrard. It was invented by their own. Your most beautiful songs are written in their own language. Meanwhile, Perry sings only in English. He also has a special voice with which he knows well deal. Music and lyrics they compose himself.

The music sounds surreal to exotic. The voice of the singer is very versatile and has a full volume. It is just as versatile as the singer himself. In "Circumradiant Dawn" it is very good effect. This song has particularly impressed me. "Indoctrination (A Design for Living)" is also one of the strong pieces. "Mesmerism" and "Advent" fade before it. Dead Can Dance (dt. "The dead can dance") radiates a special aura of visually comprehensible it is on the album cover. Your music gets under your skin, your gloom speaks something deep in us directly. She is variously usable. It helps us to fall asleep or "off", with creative work and sometimes while thinking. Might like not all the songs, the listener finds but fallen to such music, he will find on this album a little for themselves.
