Dead Can Dance

[@nunoleal9842]

i will never forget the moment when in my teens, i watched a glimpse of 30 seconds each, from this and Cocteau twins Crushed. Pure magic, changed my vision of life.

[@davidrobison8100]

Beautifully said.

[@project-unifiedfreepeoples]

I believe, in the biblical accounts, dead sea scrolls, even some Babylonian records, describe the creator becoming greatly angered by the tower being built. The order was given to the Angelic disciples to separate the masses and give them different speech, do they may not understand each other. Taking men and scattering them through the many lands. You know every since this event, if event indeed did take place, there has been no greater division of people since.

[@rabbit.littlebird]

And then..miss understand the language?

[@KORNISMYPROBLEM]

@@rabbit.littlebird it's more about interpretative expression. Lisa Gerard says in the "towards the within" DVD that the had just had her daughter and she was inspired by the fact that her daughter was so inclined to sing despite not knowing language yet.

[@rozennightshade]

I love Brendan's droning vocals in the background...

[@Castielover]

Lisa has such a dark, classical beauty! There is no one like her! Not to mention her gorgeous voice :) What an amazing woman she is! I envy.

[@Boadicea6]

To think they still make great music together, I love most of it. One of the few bands left from the early 80s and the new wave scène. How I miss those days and music. I miss dancing to it...... all in trance state.... damned, I miss being young Lol.😆

[@Boadicea6]

+The God Effect Nice to meet a kindred spirit, lol. I was crazy about that era esp in the 80s but also the 60's. I haven't heard so many different bands than in those days. My boyfriend at the time had every band you could imagine on both, from Tuxedomoon to SPK to Cocteau Twins all the English ones like Anne Clarke or Siouxsie and the Banshees to This Moral Coil and Dead can Dance and smm. Even from Belgium, when house did not excist yet, these were the ones who started it, allthough it is a lot different, Front 242, New Order (from one of my my favorite bands Joy Division after the singers suïcide, Ian Curtis. 27), Clan of Xymox, Depêche Mode even, German and other European bands like Sisters of Mercy Einstürzende Neubauten, Laibach even, so many of them, The Swans, The Legendary Pinkdots etc. etc. In those days I have heard so many different bands, of wich most I still listen to and now even all the way back to the times of Nina Simone to bands from now like Florence and the Machine for instance. But at my age, you start to appreciate almost all kinds of music, if it's good. I remember when I heard Nirvana for the 1st time, like going back in time, but also Radiohead, Garbage, The Frames, The Cranberries, Bush, R.E.M. or Live and also a lot of singer/songwriters like Damien Rice or (totally different) Corinne Bailey Rae and not to forget, the woman who blew me away with her album BACK TO BLACK, Amy Winehouse (27). Because of her I went searching for music that's a bit less commercial, but I love also some of the artists from now, wich can go from Lana Del Rey, Melanie Martinez to the Rihanna's and Beyoncé's of the world, esp lyricly and to dance to. Now I am older I find something in several genres, just like on tv or in the movies, more than just one genre would, otherwise it will become boring real soon. No house though, in any kind and country, D.J'$,YAK!!! But I love some who work with them sometimes, esp Sia, what a voice and singer but besides that it can go from Ed Sheeran to Adèle to the 40/50/60/70/80s but every century has it's own great bands. A few years ago I came across a band names She Wants Revenge, with Garbage's lead singer in the video, called These Things, wich reminds me a lot of bands like Joy Division and one I also Have to mention is the Tindersticks, from The UK. The singer has such a beautiful dark voice and they've made so many albums in the long time, they have different styles, but the best songs are those who sound like you're in some old smokey nighclub in the 50s or something, except the music sounds more like several genres, but coz of his voice and often tragic and/or romantic lyrics like Damien Rice and yet so different. My heroes on music were: Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, David Bowie, Bob Marley, Prince, the pioneers of rap music, Leela James, Amy Winehouse, Kurt Cobain, but not just dead ppl. ofcause like Damien Rice, who is my favorite singer/songwriter of the last decades and Ed Sheeran kinda brings his music back in the picture by doing covers of his songs at his concerts. I did miss Lisa Hannigan on the last album and his first album is still his best work and ofcause his live concerts. I still listen to his work, wich is not that much, 3 studio albums, the B Sides and ofcause his live performances and Ed Sheeran hopefully bring his fans some interest in Damiens work, esp his best album and debut: "O"; All that music and I haven't even mentioned a lot of them, like rap music and the modern R&B. But the best dates from the 80s, just as a lot of the worst comes from the same era, lol.ö,😆 P.S. Sorry for the long message.😴😆🔫😐

[@praszu]

You are still young.

[@Boadicea6]

@@praszu I was 47 when I wrote that, I'm 54 now! 🤗 I'm young at heart, but the body starts to get a bit more stiff, more back pain, dryer skin, grey hairs popping up 🤭But I feel as young as I was in my 20s,30s and 40s! But if you're still young, one suggestion. Don't care what others think about you and don't let others change you or take you on the wrong path. I did a lot of drugs in my day, took till now to get off the effects of that, I stopped the hard drugs at 24, 25, took another 30 years to feel like a normal person! Do what you want to do!! Sorry, I get too personal on here sometimes. 🍻♏🍀

[@anudasu]

[@MorticiansDream]

Trully perfect....epiphany of sadness and psychotic feeling.

[@ANTIMON10]

This track is legendary!

[@dtrisml]

The video is from 4ad's classic "Lonely is an Eyesore" compilation (1987). The demo version of "Frontier" (which is widely regarded as superior to the 1984 album version) was the only track not specifically recorded for LIAE and was included because DCD's only other contribution to the anthology was a Brendan Perry instrumental ("The Protagonist") and something more representative of DCD as a whole was desired.

[@reynaldhft7198]

[@Feuerbach1]

This whole album is pretty cool, but this is definitely the most eerie and minimal track, the rest is a little more New Wavey, I heard the drums were filled with slowly leaking water for that sound :)

[@liamcapel9070]

Iconic! so representative of a bygone era of music & culture. I'm waxing nostalgic now.

[@Liz66bee]

So pleased to find this on youtube, i used to have a 4AD compilation video and this track was on it, along with the Cocteaus and flying muses - brings back so many memories!

[@clintxoxox]

ive been listening to this song since the mid 80s....it is always good

[@oneillkza]

This version of the song is on the Wake disc - it's marked "Frontier(demo)". I think it's the demo they used to get a record deal, right at the beginning. (But I suspect the video was made after, as you say.

[@jaipur1401]

Absolument sublime, un morceau d'anthologie. C'est brillant !

[@joaoignacio1978]

This is the original version of this song, from 1979, a demo, indeed. It's in a 1987 4 AD compilation, "Lonely is an Eyesore". I think is much better than the 1984 version (the 2nd one) from their debut album.

[@betogomez]

+Keith Bate Very good indeed, Keith ;-) Is this your band?

[@keithbate9405]

+Beto Gomez I wish !!! Low are an American band who first emerged in the early 1990's. Clearly influenced by the quieter moments of the Velvet Underground and maybe David Roback's late 80's band Opal and especially his early 90's band Mazzy star

[@keithbate9405]

[@keithbate9405]

early DCD but already you just knew they were something a little bit different. Only the early Cocteau twins equalled them. But by the mid 1980's DCD were in a class of their own

[@Mintcar923]

Early Cocteaus stuff is just so much different than the newer.. I prefer Liz's "Siouxsie Sioux on acid" vocal style of Garlands and Head Over Heels.. IDK if she can still sing that way, though..

[@keithbate9405]

Michael Guerra Cannot really comment. I saw both the CT and DCD in the 1980's . The best time to see both bands. DCD are still around but are a pale shadow of the band they used to be. Cannot remember the last time I heard anything new from the CT. Note though I thought LG's 2014 album "the twilight kingdom" was not just the best album (mine anyway) of 2014 , but her best yet. "of love undone" is as good as anything I have heard from her. Ranks alongside "vespers" , "Now we are free", "ocean", Sanvean"

[@Mintcar923]

IDK I'd honesty rather listen to Brendan than Lisa but they're are magic together no doubt.. And, I like them just the same now as I did back in the day.. Granted the first two DCD albums were sorta on the Joy Division style but I think they'd found their true identity after and never did stray from it.. Thankfully!

[@keithbate9405]

Michael Guerra If you think DCD are as good now as 30 years ago fair enough. But as a huge JD fan in the late 70's/early 80's and saw both bands in the 1980's I do not think they were similar in style. "Spleen and ideal" (1985) to me is a master piece from DCD full of brilliant songs that I was lucky enough to see them play live. From the 1990's onwards they stopped playing those songs (with the odd exception). I think "aion" was the band's last truly great album. Of course DCD are still an excellent live group but they were more than that in the 1980's

[@Mintcar923]

Oh I couldn't disagree more.. Look at all those epics on Spiritchaser and Into the Labyrinth.. Even the new album is just amazing.. The early records were excellent and I do think Spleen and Ideal was the most perfectly balanced.. But, they've grown a great deal musically since.. And, their voices sound about the same to me as the 80's.. No better.. No worse..

[@HellsHord]

this is an adaptation from a west african drum rythm called lengen

[@wedgeromewedgerome]

Music is a great quantifier and it is said the gods all love music. This is because music is mathematical and, thus imparts higher concepts with a means to break them down into consumable units. Everbody wants to feel as though they have resolved their life's purpose before they die. This is why there is always a rush into success and marriage. Unfortunately, success and marriage are illusions of resolution. There is only one true life's resolution and that is through knowledge and the truth, which is really an aspect of books, tools, and the pen. All knowledge requires time and tools of consumption, as seen in most monastic lifestlyes. In the modern world, the music is much more potent, although less subtle than Gregorian chants and bells. One, can, however, still use music as a quantifier into one's knowledge if they understand correctly how to use it.

[@Goblexter]

Hehe,that's the point.They make you think there's a meaning and with it motivate you to make it up.Not always there is a meaning.

Chorus: Oh, the metals industry, With its secrets and its mystery, Pythagorean symbols and signs, Are whispered in the Devil's designs. In the furnace of the forge, The metal melts and forms, Shapes that only the initiated, Can truly understand. And in this world of steel, Where love is rare and real, We must hide our true intentions, Beneath a veil of subliminality. But beware of the Devil's touch, For he will lead you astray, Into the depths of the inferno, Where your soul will forever stay. So let us keep our secrets safe, And love with all our might, For in this world of industry, We must navigate the shadows of the night. -LFZ Credit to ChatGPT
