Product Details

Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard had always drawn from ancient and sacred musical traditions, but *Into The Labyrinth* found them channeling those impulses from opposite ends of the earth, Perry in rural Ireland and Gerrard in Australia. The distance only deepened the album's haunting duality, two distinct artistic visions that somehow conjured a singular, timeless sound that introduced countless listeners to the band's singular world.

Into The Labyrinth (1993) is Dead Can Dance’s sixth album, one of their most successful releases, its title a reference to the Greek legend of Theseus going into the Labyrinth to slay the Minotaur. It came when Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard had embarked on more individual personal paths, now writing their songs independent of one another, and on separate continents. Engineered and produced by Brendan at his Quivvy Church studio in Ireland, the album is an audiophile benchmark and also noted for being their first without any guests, instead they played all the instruments. The 2016 LP version is also a double LP like the original release, but comes with brand new artwork and a changed track ordering.
