· Dead Can Dance formed in Melbourne, Australia in
1981, making a handful of live appearances before
core members Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry
decided to move to London in 1982, feeling that the
group had progressed as far as it could on the
Australian underground scene. A year was spent
rehearsing in an East London flat before the group
summoned up enough confidence to approach
independent record labels, having already ruled out
the majors after initial rebuffs. The only label to show
any interest was 4AD, who gave them the chance to
record an LP and also put them on tour with the
Cocteau Twins in Holland.
· All the albums have been remastered by MFSL
(Mobile Fidelity Sound Laboratory), one of the
most respected audiophile labels in the USA.
· The 4 track EP, ‘Garden Of The Arcane Delights’,
has been added as a bonus to the remastered CD rerelease
of Dead Can Dance’s eponymously titled first
album.
