Title: Dead Can Dance - Our Day Will Come

Quote'Our Day Will Come' is dedicated to the shared national aspirations of the Irish and Palestinian peoples. The song title is a direct reference and translation of the traditional Irish Republican slogan Tiocfaidh ár lá.  A slogan that embodies the aspirations of the Irish people in their shared vision of a united Ireland free from foreign colonial rule. In light of the appalling ongoing genocide in Palestine the solidarity between our two peoples has never been stronger.

Great news. DCD could cover Come Out Ye Black and Tans and make it sound haunting.

Herself is mad into them so saw them 4 times in England on the last 2 tours. They are feckin great live. Lisa Gerrard has some pipes on her, and the overall sound was gorgeous.

Aye, saw them the last coupla times they played here ('05 & '12, I think?), absolutely class live. I sprung for the live CD recorded in the Olympia in '05, a nice souvenir.

I can never quite get into DCD. I only have Into The Labyrinth and I dunno, it's grand.

Listen to the Anastasis album. Fantasic album. The sound alone is intoxicating.

Within The Realm Of A Dying Sun is the one. My favourite album.

It's probably their weakest. As Carnage says, Within The Realm is tops, my personal favourites are Spleen and Ideal, and The Serpent's Egg.

You might get a kick out of the debut as they were still doing their post-punk thing back then.

First one is class. Within the Realm is the definite high point for me as well. Absolutely adore the artwork as well.

Have been binging Within the Realm since picking it up on vinyl last month. Def a band I'd like to have the full discography by. The relatively recent Dionysus was a class release too, imo, if anyone's not checked it out.

Within the Realm of a Dying Sun is their peak alright. There are incredible songs on the following albums, but also a lot of instrumental tracks that feel like filler.

Wake is a fantastic compilation if you're looking for an overview of the band.

A fantastic comeback album alright. There's a live album from the Anastasis tour that's worth hearing, the 2 CD version has all of the album tracks played live on it.

Decided to fish Anastasis off the shelf as it's been a while. "Opium" is one of their highlights.

But I did have an "ara feck" moment - it released in 2012! Almost a decade and a half ago  :abbath:

Just saw this on Lisa Gerrard's Facebook page:

QuoteI feel the need to follow up on a number of questions I've been asked regarding Dead Can Dance.  Let's clarify that Dead Can Dance, although I am no longer involved, is and always has been a catalyst for artistic expression, let's celebrate its new incarnation.

The end of an era, even though Perry's always been the driving force, it just won't be the same without her. Her voice and delivery are so distinctive and integral a part of their sound that I can't see how long it can continue as his solo affair. Just retire the name and carry on, I'd suggest.
