PGM 754 : "SUMMONING THE MUSE"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a tribute to the music of Dead Can Dance
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 1-20-06

INTRO: The Anglo/Irish/Australian band DEAD CAN DANCE hit an
uncommonly rich musical vein as they evolved. Starting as a gloomy
"darkwave" rock band in Australia in 1981, they moved to London and
soon embraced ancient, modal, medieval and world music influences.

Like all true artists, they transformed these into something much more
than the sum of its parts. Fronted by LISA GERRARD's incomparable
wordless vocals and BRENDAN PERRY's superb production, they created
a deep and beautiful sound that's been tremendously influential for
artists from Classical to Gothic, New Age to Dark Ambient.

In 2005, Projekt Records released a multi-artist tribute to DEAD CAN
DANCE that's the inspiration for this edition of Hearts of Space.
We celebrate the legacy of DEAD CAN DANCE on a program called
SUMMONING THE MUSE.
