专辑介绍
DCD美国地下乐坛已声名鹊起，同时也是4AD乐史上最大卖的乐队。Perry 和Gerrard又一次成功发行了“Aion”。封面取自BOSCH的“Aion”将中世纪研究学发扬到及至，其中有则有不少采样于很多世纪之前的音乐。
乐队指挥的不仅仅指挥着录音室里的声效，仿佛亲眼目睹着那古老的宗教，原始的乐器，各种来自世界各地的音乐前所未有的强烈。Gerrard的嗓音从某种程度上来说更加有力更富有感情，不仅仅释放着自己的力量，还显得异常的轻柔和诱惑力。歌手David Navarro Sust和Perry的兄弟Robert也在Aion中做了大量的幕后和音工作。（From

Their reputation growing by leaps and bounds, including a huge underground following in the U.S. -- they were able to tour there even without one domestic release available, while at one point Dead Can Dance was the biggest selling band in 4AD's history -- Perry and Gerrard once again did the business with Aion. Its cover taken from Bosch, Aion's medievalism was worn more openly than ever before, with songs adapted from centuries-old material. The beautiful, entrancing "Saltarello," with lead performance by what sounds like an old wind instrument, comes from an Italian dance of the 14th century, while the mysterious moods of "The Song of the Sibyl" derive from 16th-century Catalonia. The group's command of not merely recording possibilities -- witness the exquisite layering of vocals on the opening "The Arrival and the Reunion" -- but of musical traditions, instruments, and more from around the world was arguably never stronger. Gerrard's vocals in particular have an even stronger, richer feeling than before, not merely able to command with its power but softly calm and seduce. Perry, meanwhile, is no less compelling, his ever-strong, wonderful voice perfectly suited to his choice of material. The standout track is "Fortune Presents Gifts Not According to the Book" with lyrics from a Spanish poet. The musical combination of softly plucked guitar and buried organ drone is striking enough, swathed in reverb, but when Perry steps in with his vocals, matched by more sparkling keyboards, the result is yet another high point for a band laden with them. Guest performers once again assist throughout, including Perry's brother Robert on haunting, quite non-clichéd bagpipes for "As the Bell Rings the Maypole Spins" and singer David Navarro Sust, returning again to contribute some fine backing work.

- @斑马：今天才意外发现，这张图是从耶罗尼米斯·博斯（Hieronymus Bosch）的画作《人间乐园（The garden of earthly delights）》中截取出来的——《人间乐园》描绘了一个从狂欢到惊恐的空想超现实主义世界，在电脑上打开链接看细节，迷人极了！ https://tuinderlusten-jheronimusbosch.ntr.nl/en
- @兔斯基：从魔法少女小圆中一首曲子顺藤摸瓜而来。
- @路德·古利特：这是Dead Can Dance逝者善舞 / 死者能舞的第五张专辑。自90年代起，D.C.D.这个有10年历史的老牌乐团活动更加频繁，第5张专辑《Aion》，真诚表达出D.C.D.一向根本溯源的立场，作品里透露了自中古世纪至文艺复兴时期，宗教音乐和美学观念的影响。肇始於89年和电影媒体愉快的合作经验，91年Lisa更积极的拓宽艺术领域，她承诺为Temeno制作的希腊名剧《伊底帕斯王》谱写配乐，并且参与多次艺术季活动，得到英国剧评们的认同。
