used to love em "back in the day", don't listen to them much nowadays but if you've just discovered them it might be also worth checking out "This Mortal Coil" who used many of the same musicians.
I've recently rediscovered TMC's "Filigree and Shadow" album which isn't bad, a little too close to the art wank side of things for me but it does have some nice tunes on it.

Wonderful stuff, but I've listened it into the ground so it doesn't have the same effect on me any more. This one time I got wicked toasted and lit candles and lay on the floor listening to Cantara and the tension almost killed me. You have to listen to that track toasted to get the full effect.

Love them, especially Into the Labyrinth. ''The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove'' got me hooked on them initially, so that album is special. Their album covers are suitable for framing.

oh ye, DCD are one of the best bands i've ever came across, one of those bands you never get tired of. Lisa Gerrard solo is awesome too, have you checked her albums out?

They played "Fortune Presents Gifts Not According To The Book" on the radio the other day, Chile has the best radio in the world.

I always play the more traditional sounding songs with lisa gerrard as the main singer and skip the rest. Too bad their albums are so short. I've heard Dead can Dance on the radio many times as well, not on regular commercial programs though...

I was just suprised over here how good the radio was, there are some broadly alternative stations that play across the board pop to, well Dead can dance, where the only criteria is good music from any age. I think in dear old blighty we're too worried about categorisation, context, current musical trends and most of our greastest musical treasures, which other countries would hold as national heroes, tend to get hidden away as some embarrasment in case anyone at home should discover them.
