The primarily experimental structure of the second album by Dead Can Dance, released in 1985, dispelled any notion that the band deserved the post-gothic label slapped on them by the English music press. The album defined a new richness of unification between voice and music, lyrics and structure, that suggested a concrete sense of the aural ideal the band were striving for.
