Dead Can Dance - S/d

yes, the second half of Kiko is their only link to the previous album. I wish it sounded a bit more freewheeling, though. then again, you could always spot the sampled seams on their later records, which did not detract from their greatness.

Happily, I found Spleen and Ideal on vinyl day before yesterday. I'M IN LOVE.

lol there is a version of "ubiquitous mr lovegrove" on youtube that is just clips from darren aronofsky's the fountain

oh, and Eleusis has won the bid: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleusis -> "On 11 November 2016 Eleusis was named the European Capital of Culture for 2021."

I did not expect to see this today:

My short program is to “Song of the Stars” by Dead Can Dance. I actually choreographed it myself. Initially I didn’t want to, because I love working with other choreographers, but Page [Lipe, my coach] thought it would be a great challenge for me. It has a modern yet tribal feel to it.

in unrelated news, Lisa Gerrard does vocals on four tracks here, released back in May of this year:
