X      As many of you already know, Dead Can Dance is the ultimate  listening experience.  DCD has been the defining element in many circles of music.  Few groups have been so influential and self-defining.  Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry are the catalysts for Dead Can Dance who's music may be gothic, new age, world, ethereal, neo-classical and dark wave.  These words simlpy cannot describe the awesome music this duo creates.  Trying to catagorize or describe their music leaves one with a loss for words... it simply cannot be done.
      
"We made medicine for ourselves and hopefully make medicine for other people.  A way out.  A way to the familiar..." so says Lisa Gerrard in a 1993 interview with B-Side Magazine.  Brendan explains, "...there's too much of an emphasis on [music] as entertainment.  It should be a necessary part of the culture.  It should be part of communication, for education, therapy, for meditation."
      
This web page is in its beginning phase and will eventually be the greatest accumulaton of Dead Can Dance material.  The purpose of this page is twofold.  One, it shall serve as a warehouse of information to allow listeners to get more in touch with the basic nature and understanding that the core of the music attempts to reach.  Through detailed text, graphics, and sounds ~ you will perhaps have a deeper understanding and closeness to the music.   Secondly, this site shall serve as the first resource for valuable information and material. 
      
I hope you enjoy your experice here and feel free to make any comments or suggestions.  This site was designed specifically for YOU!

Sincerely,
