专辑介绍

可以称的上是慢热型的DCD把多产的黄金80年代留在了身后，慢慢地攀爬着音乐的高峰，终于在1994年推出了他们的这张顶峰之作。Into the Labyrinth的后期混音与制作都是在教堂之中完成，Perry 和Gerrard极为精心的制作，而同时由WEA和4AD共同发行不难看出两位成员对与之千丝万缕的美国乐坛的野心。

出色的专集封面设计取材一张名为"hand od the world"的照片，那双覆盖着世界的手指引着我们进入迷宫。“Saldek”一类的中东音乐依然是DCD作品中最深的痕迹。Perry的歌声中多了几分凝重与成熟，尤其是在“ The Carnival Is Over”和由Bentolt Brecht作词的“ How Fortunate the Man With None ”。由Gerrard清唱的“The Wind That Shakes the Barley ”是为了纪念M.Coppers而作，像幼时睡床边母亲的歌谣。（From

by Ned Raggett

With a regular American deal in place for the first time ever, thanks to 4AD's linkup with the WEA conglomerate, Dead Can Dance made a splash on commercial alternative radio with "The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove," the first single from Into the Labyrinth. Raga drones, a strange clattering beat, a haunting wind instrument, orchestral shading, and Perry's ever-grand voice make it one of the more unlikely things to be heard on the airwaves in a while. It all begins with yet another jaw-dropper from Gerrard, "Yulunga (Spirit Dance)," with keyboards and her octave-defying voice at such a deep, rich level that it sweeps all before it. Wordless as always but never without emotional heft, the song slowly slides into a slow but heavy percussion piece that sounds a bit like "Bird" from A Passage in Time, but with greater impact and memorability. As the album slowly unwinds over an hour's length, the two again create a series of often astounding numbers that sound like they should be millennia old, mixing and matching styles to create new fusions. Perhaps even more impressive is that everything was performed solely by Perry and Gerrard -- no outside guests here, and yet everything is as detailed, lush, and multifaceted as many of their past albums. New classics from the band appear almost track for track: Gerrard's a cappella work on "The Wind That Shakes the Barley," the gentle beauty of "Ariadne," the rhythmic drive and chants of the title song. The conclusion is a slightly surprising but quite successful cover -- "How Fortunate the Man With None," an adaptation of a classic Bertolt Brecht tune about the turn of fortune's wheel. Given a restrained arrangement and Perry's singing, it brings Labyrinth to a satisfying end.
