Wake

I purchased DeadCanDance :Wake - double CD. LOVE the music. Luckily the actual CDs and booklet were not damaged, but the case was smashed to bits, and the paper end bent, inside what looked like a perfect bubble envelope. So, the packaging was not sufficient for protection. I was so disappointed, as I was going to give this as a gift, but have decided just to keep the CDs for myself, as I have an extra plastic case, and returning the product was not that easy for me. I did take photos of everything. As for the product, it's a very good Dead Can Dance experience. If you are a fan, you need to add this double to your collection.

Why I say "Shame on me"? Because I didn't get into this band earlier. I've heard the name Dead Can Dance (DCD) for some years now but didn't pay much attention, thinking it was some dark, morbid music with a spooky name like "Dead Can Dead". I've been a fan of The Cocteau Twins for about 4 years now, I have almost all their albums, then a co-worker of mine told me he hates the The Cocteau Twins and loves DCD instead, and recomended their music. I was surprised he would say that he "hates" the Twins, his main reason he says Liz Fraser "just hollows on about nothing".Not really true, but eventually I tryed the music clips for DCD: Wake on Amazon and was captured by what I heard so I gave it a shot.Now I'm a new fan of DCD, thanks to this Wake release of Best of tracks. I still like Cocteau Twins but I most says DCD is more varied in musical scope and styles, crossing several different languages and cultures. I'm impressed with Gerrard's ability to sing in different languages. This a perfect for me because I'm the type of person that like learning about cultures and languages, and DCD is great for when I'm doing artwork, illustrating multicultural characters in exotic worlds.DCD: Wake is a great introductory compilation for potentional new fans. My favourite songs are Carnival of Light, Windfall, Host of Seraphim, Severance, Rakim and The Spider's Stratagem, to name a few. I already started purchasing DCD's past album releases and the Remasters will be available soon.DCD will take your mind and soul to other worlds, past, present and future.

This is potentially one of the best CDs of Dead Can Dance. Truly amazing sound and quality from a Red Book CD. It qualifies as an audiophile CD and you won't be disappointed by this band. I ended up purchase another CD from this band, happy with the purchase.

I bought this album after seeing a few DCD videos on youtube, and I was totally blown away! I can't believe I had never even heard of this band, and was missing out in this music all these years. I bought the this album 3 months ago and have been listening to it almost every day since. The songs never get old.They are just so completely different from anything that's being put out today. I personally don't think there's a better vocalist out there today than Lisa Gerrard, and Lisa and Brendan's work together is genius.

Very beautiful music as always. DCD lives up to its name again..

perfect

Cool album

The wonderful collection of Dead Can Dance music on two CD's is awesome to listen to. Thank you, Dead Can Dance, for all of your music, and to Amazon.com for providing their music for an awesome price!

If you buy this you should know what to expect. It's not to everyones taste and my wife doesn't like it. If you want Lisa Gerrard Gladiator vocals you may be better getting her 'best of' cd. I find it better than 'world music' with moments of brilliance interspersed with moments of hitting the FF button.

Stunning album

Superb album
