With Dead Can Dance now firmly centered round the core of Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard, they released their third album Within The Realm Of A Dying Sun in the Summer of 1987, showing both a continued maturity in their sound and rise in their popularity.
Dead Can Dance's second album saw them experiment more with instrumentation, abandoning guitars in favour of cello, trombone and timpani. Widely acclaimed, there was now a richness of unification between voice and music, lyrics and structure.
Engineered and produced by Brendan at his Quivvy Church studio in Ireland. This 2016 LP version is also a double LP like the original release, but comes with new artwork and a changed track ordering.
