Dead Can Dance's final album Spiritchaser was something of an unusual release - it's not as much of an anomaly as the first album, but one can hear the duo wanting to stretch a bit more, however subtly. Perry and Gerrard's personal and creative tensions didn't stop them from creating another fine album, though there's a strong sense the group had finally reached a logical end. Essentially, Spiritchaser is a summing up rather than a push forward; it features all the usual elements of a Dead Can Dance album instead of further explorations to see what else could be done. Now Perry and Gerrard have a solo career, but I like better their common works, so I decided to buy on eBay their last cut.
Their last studio album for some time, it's a high note of warm instruments and world rhythms, with both singers in top form.

I do like this CD a great deal. I would not say I enjoy it as much as earlier releases such as "In the realm of the Dying Sun", but it does open new ground for DCD. There are Native American & Central American inspired themes as well as African & Asian influences which the group has explored before. Overall, worthy of a listen & enjoyable.
I was origanlly given a burnt copy of the CD and because I played it over and over again (I wore it out!), I had to buy the original.
