Dead Can Dance - Garden Of The Arcane Delights (1984) (@256)












Since I've dealt with Dead Can Dance, here is their sole ep release. The cover art is a sketch done by Brendan Perry and represents the themes of the song "The Arcane". As Perry explains:
…The naked blindfolded figure, representing primal man deprived of perception, stands, within the confines of a garden (the world) containing a fountain and trees laden with fruit. His right arm stretches out - the grasping for knowledge - towards a fruit bearing tree, its trunk encircled by a snake. In the garden wall - the wall between freedom and confinement - are two gateways: the dualistic notion of choice. It is a Blakean universe in which mankind can only redeem itself, can only rid itself of blindness, through the correct interpretation of signs and events that permeate the fabric of nature's laws.
