Garden of the Arcane Delights

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Bridging the gap between the gloomy post-punk of their debut and the sweeping world music experimentation of their future, this release stands as their only official extended play. The production heavily incorporates dense tribal percussion and chanting, creating a deeply ritualistic and arcane atmosphere. The commanding vocal interplay between Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry solidifies the majestic, gothic aesthetic that defined their early years.
