专辑介绍
对美的追求是DCD永恒不变的主题。
虽然这张些许带着实验味道的“Within the Realm of dying Sun”只有38 MIN，音乐却如电影一般的如诗如画，在整体没的塑造上，在对意境的营造和氛围的渲染功力上，DCD已大上台阶，依旧唯美，依旧神秘，依旧是中古宗教和英国民谣的完美结合。如今再评价DCD没有比World Music 更适合的了，如水的琴键，梦幻的弦音，重重的鼓声，，摄人的管乐，依旧让人恍若隔世，心醉神迷。
有趣的是，对宗教疯狂热忱的Gerrard与对民谣异常倾心的Perry鲜有在同一首歌里的合作表演。这部作品的更大意义在于标志着DCD的两位成员在音乐上的的某种程度的分裂，低调神秘的Gerrard与温暖而富有表现力的Perry用各自出色的表演激发起对方无限的张力。（From

With its two sides split between Perry and Gerrard's vocal efforts, Within the Realm of a Dying Sun serves as both a display for the ever more ambitious band and a chance for the two to individually demonstrate their awesome talents. Beginning with the portentous "Anywhere Out of the World," a piece that takes the deep atmospherics of "Enigma of the Absolute" to a higher level with mysterious, chiming bells, simple but effective keyboard bass and a sense of vast space, the album finds Dead Can Dance on a steady roll. Once again a range of assistant musicians provide even more elegance and power to the band's work, with a chamber string quartet plus various performers on horns, woodwind, and percussion. Impressive though the remainder of the first side is, Gerrard's showcase on the second half is even more enveloping and arguably more successful. The martial combination of drums and horns that start "Dawn of the Iconoclast" call to mind everything from Wagner to Laibach, but Gerrard's unearthly alto, at its most compelling here, elevates it even higher. "Cantara" is no less impressive, a swirling, drum-heavy song that sounds equally inspired by gypsy dancing, classical orchestras and any number of Arab musical traditions. "Summoning of the Muse" is perhaps too formal in comparison, though still quite impressive, but "Persephone" is the finer effort and a good way to close.
