Dead Can Dance - Toward The Within description
There are few voices in popular music like that of Dead Can Dance's Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard. Perry's is rich and earthy, whereas Gerrard's multi-octave instrument is, at times, downright unearthly. Toward the Within, the audiovisual version of a 1993 concert at Santa Monica's Mayfair Theatre--chosen, no doubt, for its excellent acoustics--is a fine showcase for their unique talents. Joined by five musicians on keyboards, strings, and percussion, Mark Magidson (Baraka) has filmed the proceedings in a straightforward manner, but the music is intricate and exotic enough that no special effects or fancy camera moves are necessary. The songs, which incorporate pop, folk, and world-music influences, are interspersed with interview clips, turning the release into a hybrid between a concert video and a documentary. Highlights include the hypnotic "Rakim" and soaring "American Dreaming." Toward the Within was also issued on CD, sans the interview and video clips. --Kathleen C. Fennessy |

amazing, as close to live as possible

| For a music DVD (unlike MTV) this actually is a pretty good example. I was lucky enough to see then perform at Berklee School of Music in Boston just days before this was filmed in CA and despite the problems of "our performance" the overall outcome was outstanding. Shortly after Lisa came on and started to sing she passed out on stage, of course the music stopped and the stage was empty for quite some time until Brendan came and explained that she was okay and probably might not return and they began to continue the show without her. Eventually toward the end of the show Lisa returned to an amazing standing ovation and began to sing a few songs.( of which they were I forget) At the end , someone from the audience presented Lisa with a huge bouquet of roses. One of the most memorable concerts of my life which I will never forget and I am very glad there is a film of it. |
