The sound of the album is no different really than what they used to do. But I guess that's a good thing, as it is that sound that Dead Can Dance fans would expect. There is a sense of melancholia and mysticism throughout with Middle Eastern and Gaelic influences. It brings listeners a feeling of nostalgia and at the same time prepares them for something bigger. And what beautiful artwork?! It's a piece of art!
Dead Can Dance have announced a tour in North America to present the album; I really do hope they come to Europe as well! I guess we'll have to wait and see!
The full album can be streamed here.
The radio edit version (not featured in the album) of Amnesia, can be downloaded here for free.
