Dead Can Dance - Aion

Dead Can Dance - 1990 - Aion (2008 MFSL Hybrid SACD)
Dead Can Dance's fifth and arguably finest studio album, Aion, originally released in 1990, contains twelve songs recorded at Brendan Perry's own studio in southern Ireland and features the male soprano David Navarro Sust on the first track. Aion revolves around the interplay between Gerrard's soaring glossolalia and Perry's baritone crooning. A range of styles are explored, from the polyphonic choral heights of "The Arrival and the Reunion" to the smooth balladry of "Fortune Presents Gifts Not According to the Book" to the Middle Eastern sensuality of "Radharc." Other standout tracks include the playful "Saltarello," a traditional 14th-century instrumental dance piece, and "As the Bell Rings the Maypole Spins," a strikingly melodic song carried by bagpipes and Gerrard's angelic voice
