Dead Can Dance - Dionysus

Score: 8.3 

The ninth album from Australian-British duo Dead Can Dance is an enthralling recollection of tribal ambient soundscapes that are as energetic as restrained. Pinches of Balkan, Greek, Turkish, Iranian and Byzantine traditional folk music illustrate and mark up the pace in which the seven tracks unfold and wave into one another, driven by Brendan Perry's voracious and ever-evolving instrumentals and Lisa Gerrard's immaculate vocals. Dionysus feels extremely short, eventually, since one is left wanting more of that exquisitely intriguing world of ancient fantasies and cryptic dancing.
