Sé que muchos no les gusta compilaciones, sin embargo esto es particularmente interesante porque serenamente está interconectado entre el período inicial de la DCD (1984-1987), para mí es muy especial porque es la diversificación, y una canción del primer álbum dentro del reino de un sol moribundo (álbum emblemático), un poco más en Aion y seis de huevo de la serpiente (creo que uno de los más adorado por los fans) ... también hay nuevas canciones ... Particularmente evito hablar con mucho énfasis en un álbum tratando de comparar con los cambios entre épocas ....

Hmm, well I wouldn't recommend this for a first DCD experience. Of course, every song is great when you listen to them individually, but I feel like it doesn't quite show the diversity of their influences and it's somewhat lacking, just my opinion, but... for instance "Spiritchaser" or "Into the Labyrinth" provide a magical, mystical experience that this album doesn't quite manage to reach. Probably because it's a best of in the first place, mainly focused on song-structured tracks, and thus lacks many of their (awesome) slower, atmospheric works. And also because it came out in 1991, when the band had not yet released some of their best works to date (Spiritchaser! Spiritchaser!) Also want to add, "Xavier" and "Summoning of the Muse" being missing on a DCD best of is a crime. But yeah, the songs are still great, so who cares? :D

I found listening to this CD quite unpleasant. Don't get me wrong, the music is absolutely excellent, and Dead Can Dance is one of my favourite groups, but having listened to all these songs on the "proper" albums, where the order of the songs also play a certain role, this CD felt kind of random, disconnected (understandable, of course, as it was created as a kind of synopsis of their previous work, for american listeners). It reminded me why I generally dislike Best of / Compilation albums. [x2]
