Originally issued in 1988, The Serpent's Egg was a move forward for Dead Can Dance as they took ancient or various music from around the world as primary sources, with Lisa Gerrard singing glossolalia (speaking in tongues or gibberish), giving the duo a very distinctive style. As a result, their later albums sound quite different from the first three. Critics have labeled these as neoclassical, ethereal, or dark world music.
