专辑介绍

DCD的最后一张专集“Spiritchaser”似乎是一种不太平常的释放,虽然并不如第一张同名专集那么的离奇。也许歌迷们还在感叹二重唱的某些不足,然而很巧妙的是Perry和Gerrard的创造力并不能阻挡“Spiritchaser”成为一张出色的专集。

从本质上来看,与其说“Spiritchaser”是一种进步不如说成是一种总结,它包涵了DCD所有作品中的所有元素而不是探索其他。它显然更沉重更富有撞击力。 DCD在“Spiritchaser”强而有力的音符中结束了自己的辉煌天堂咏唱十年,她以最大的可能表现了黑暗乐风独具特色的魅力。(From

西祠胡同

by Ned Raggett

Dead Can Dance's final album Spiritchaser was something of an unusual release - it's not as much of an anomaly as the first album, but one can hear the duo wanting to stretch a bit more, however subtly. Perry and Gerrard's personal and creative tensions didn't stop them from creating another fine album, though there's a strong sense the group had finally reached a logical end. Essentially, Spiritchaser is a summing up rather than a push forward; it features all the usual elements of a Dead Can Dance album instead of further explorations to see what else could be done. Toward the Within contributors Ronan O'Snodaigh and Lance Hogan, as well as previous collaborator Peter Ulrich, appear on some tracks here, most specifically on the opening "Nierika" and "Dedicace Outro." Both are laden with lots of percussion -- unsurprising when one realizes that five performers are creating the drumming! Outside of Turkish clarinet by Renaud Pion on the Beatles-sampling "Indus," it's nothing but Perry and Gerrard throughout the album, with another combination and arrangement of multiple influences coming to bear. Both Perry and Gerrard are in fine voice throughout, their strong singing still the centerpiece of their work, but there's almost an air of predictability to their approaches at this point (perhaps explaining Perry's greater experimentation on his solo debut years later). Interestingly, overtly rock elements like Morricone-styled electric guitar appear at points amid the usual melange of various percussion instruments and arrangements. It works surprisingly well, indicating where the duo might have gone had they continued on. Spiritchaser ends on a strong note, the gentle, mysterious "Devorzhum," a Gerrard-sung number that makes for a grand conclusion.
