Editorial reviews

From Amazon.com
Their goth-sounding name and dour visual image aside, the prolific duo of Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard produce wildly eclectic but utterly unique music. Their painstakingly crafted albums encompass numerous arcane genres, from European classical music to ancient Celtic and Middle Eastern folk styles, often employing authentic antique instruments to achieve their ambitious, emotive soundscapes. The 1993 effort IInto the Labyrinth/I found Dead Can Dance mixing their medieval leanings with more exotic Eastern influences on "Saldek" and "Yulunga," while exploring Celtic balladry on the traditional "The Wind That Shakes the Barley" and theatrical songcraft in their interpretation of Bertolt Brecht's "How Fortunate Is the Man with None." I--Scott Schinder/I

Information on the SACD release
This is a special, limited de-luxe edition. It is a STEREO, HYBRID SACD - in other words, it is not a multi-channel release but it CAN be played on a regular CD player and does NOT require special SACD hardware. The album has been re-mastered by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab in the USA and these pressings are packaged in Japanese, mini-vinyl replicas of the original sleeves, including replicas of any inner sleeves, plus an additional booklet with lyrics. br /As it replicates the original vinyl, double album, there are two additional tracks, 'Bird' and 'Spirit' that do not appear on the regular CD release.

enchanting
This album was my introduction to Dead Can Dance and has turned me into a great fan. Being a live album it reveals the spontaneous nature of the music Dead Can Dance create. Tracks on the album that last for little more than a minute are often the most awe inspiring.pThis album strikes an interesting balance between this spontaneous element, and the steady pace which is kept throughout, making it easy to listen to and even easier to praise.

You Need this Album
A fantastic soundscape of mood, emotion and melancholy mixing medieval influences and sometimes brooding, sometimes uplifting vocals, Into the Labrynth is a masterpiece of production- strings, keyboards, percussion- absolutely gorgeous. This is classy and you'd be doing yourself a favour if you bought it (and an even bigger one of you then go out and buy all of their other albums). A joy.
