@ancient_catbus my BIL gave us this album, not sure if we still have it or if it was one of those ones we sold to make ends meet
@ancient_catbus incredible song, i first discovered it on a 4AD comp called “lilliput”
@exchgr 4AD compilations were always 🔥🔥🔥
@ancient_catbus I love Dead Can Dance. I found out about them via the Gladiator soundtrack of all things.
@whothewu cool, yah they used to be this very very niche band but Lisa Gerrard's soundtrack work got them well deserved exposure
@ancient_catbus the live version of “Cantara” from the Toward the Within album is probably my favorite. Just incredible passion in her singing.
@ancient_catbus thank you (one half of) Lords of Acid.
@ancient_catbus incredible movie. incredible theme song.
@roselialescrime still the greatest video game adaptation
@ancient_catbus That whole album is just on another level
@ancient_catbus in college I got stoned and watched the music video and the visual effects blew my mind
@ancient_catbus the Radio Shack font transports me back in time
@ancient_catbus it’s been absolute decades since I’ve heard that one
@ancient_catbus The Roches are some local talent, for me. 😎
@ancient_catbus the picture though is of Blind Willie McTell. Also an amazing musician.
