Since their 1984 debut the Dead Can Dance sound was becoming less drilling and pounding and more serene. Nevermore so than on their sumptuously textured work Aion. Originally released in 1990, Aion draws from the liturgical and secular music of the Middle Ages and the early Renaissance, with a mixture of Latin, Spanish dialect, Bulgarian and Arabic stunningly articulated by Lisa Gerrard.
