Remastered re-issue! 'Spleen and Ideal' defined a new richness of unification between voice and music, lyrics and structure, that suggested a concrete sense of the aural ideal DCD were striving for.

Format:Audio CD
While Dead can dance's first album was already a magical gothic rock experience their second album brings their music to the heights of artistic perfection.
"de profundis" already shows band's new style - heavy medieval wall of sound,Lisa's etheral vocals and creepy atmosphere."ascension","Cumirant dawn","Mesmerism" are really scary and fascinating at the same time,while Brendan Perry's songs have got more traditional new wave rock feeling."The cardinal sin" is very hipnotising with it's dark lyrics,trumpets,gloomy bass riff and ocasionally played piano. "advent" is the most normal sounding song compared to the rest of album. "Indoctrination" is a great ending to the album.
TO be honest at first i didin't liked "spleen and ideal" as much as their other works.at first i thought it is too much raw and uncertain...but after few listenings i got addicted to it. i think that this is the music that you really love when you will already get into it.

dead can dance puts me in another place, a space outside myself that is very conforting and spatial. Each and every album. I do not own one DCD that I don't love. This one in particular takes me away like meditating. It's very mesmerizing.

Spleen and Ideal
This is the album were DCD found their sound. This is fantastic just like every album from DCD. I feel that this album is probably their most overlooked and underrated album. Read more

Majestätisch - bombastisch - düster
"Spleen and Ideal" ist meiner Ansicht nach "Within the Realms of a dying sun" das düsterste Album der Gruppe. Im Unterschied zu "Within, ... Read more

Becoming an Avatar is not easy
For the fans of DCD, the words have more meaning as just plain text. Like me, i'm training to become an avatar since a long, long time. You know who i am. Read more

This Cd makes my heart ache, as the lyrics are poignant and emphazize our solitary paths filled with confusion as to how to live, as this path of life is not about turning 54, but... Read more
