Best of "Dead Can Dance"?


I just stumbled onto what I consider a great cd, "Into the Labyrinth" by Dead Can Dance. The sonics are incredible and the music is captivating. Perhaps I've been dead for the past 20 years, but I had never heard of this group before. I knew Lisa Gerrard from her recent movie soundtracks, but had no idea of her previous life.

I'm looking to add other DCD cd's to my collection, and wondered what are generally considered their best work, musically as well as sonically? Anyone heard the compilation cd/dvd package DCD 1981-1998? Would this be a good way to obtain a collection of their work?

What do you consider their top cds in descending order, from best to worst?

Thanks.

Kenl; I like DCD too, and I think Labyrinth is my favorite. And if you like them, are you familiar with the CDs by Enigma? There are 5, and not a bad one in the bunch. I don't even know how to describe their music except to say that it's mostly percussion driven, kind of new agey, but not "space music". Great CDs IMO. Happy Listening. Craig
