Will you laugh at me when I say I really love Dead Can Dance?
Come on, they used to be just amazing.
|
I don't know them much but from what I heard they're good
|
i've always meant to give them a serious listen.
i know plenty of people who love them. |
I don't know much about them.
|
I heard one girl in my photo class talk about them, never had the chance to give them a listen.
|
Like most of you, I've heard the name tossed around and it never really ocurred to me that I should listen to them, maybe it was the people who dropped the name....
|
they are an atmospheric goth band with gregorian chants and stuff like that.
some of it crosses to enya territory but i hear some of their stuff is actually really good. as i said, i haven't heard them really, apart from a song or two. |
for some reason i love to play them on my days off while im at home in a productive sort of mood , like cleaning or painting or writing (non-studying ) . they have good vibes .
but when i am apart of the daily grind , commuting to work etc , i find them to be very boring and overly dramatic . *shrug |

Their studio efforts are OK, but the live album "Toward the Within" blows me away. Definately more of a world music than goth vibe on that album.
|
no i wont laugh
theyre ok although not really what i tend to gravitate towards musically |

no. i like a few of their songs. i have one album of theirs on my old computer. it's nice music to listen to when you just want to sit in a chair or lay in bed and relax your mind a bit. |
nah, they have like polyrhythms and percussion too. it's kinda like adult contemporary goth, if i remember correctly.

Ha, that's actually the only one I don't really like. You're right with the world music touch on that one - that's also the reason I'm not so keen on it. However, "Within the realm of a dying sun", "The Serpent's egg", "Into the Labyrinth" and "A passage in Time" are albums well worth listening. Some beauty there for sure. |
Pretty stuff. He has such a sexy voice. They're about as pretentious as you can get and loathed by many, but their live stuff can be tremendous.
|
The first album is amazing , more cold wave than new-age-goth-medieval-whatever , with almost only guitar/bass/drums. A must in the genre.
|
The Serpent's Egg and Aion is a good albums.
|
I used to love DCD when they were a typical 4AD band, but I lost interest as they moved more towards the atmospheric world music stuff. The first two or three albums are stunning though.

Yep. I saw them live a couple of years ago. They weren't that good but not too shabby either. |
