Dead Can Dance is the debut album recorded by Dead Can Dance in 1984.
This album differs greatly from later Dead Can Dance releases, particularly in terms of ethnic fusion. This album has been at times described as post-punk or goth rock. The musicians who performed on this album, as well as the EP, were Brendan Perry, Lisa Gerrard, Paul Erikson, James Pinker, and Peter Ulric
1984 - Garden Of The Arcane Delights - EP
1. Carnival Of Light - 3:32
2. In Power We Entrust The Love Advocated - 4:12
3. The Arcane - 3:48
4. Flowers Of The Sea - 3:27
Garden of the Arcane Delights was released in 1984 by the group Dead Can Dance on the 4AD label.
This was the only EP release by Dead Can Dance and it was originally released as a 12″ record. Later, the four songs were added to Dead Can Dance’s self-titled debut album when it was re-released on CD.
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.
1986 - Spleen And Ideal
1. De Profundis (Out Of The Depths Of Sorrow) - 3:59

9. Indoctrination (A Design For Living) - 4:12
Spleen and Ideal is the second album recorded by Dead Can Dance, released in 1986.
A rather ethereal form of gothic music, similar to the origins of its debut album, Dead Can Dance, and followed a more world music- and neoclassical-oriented content, with lyrics based on the writings of Charles Baudelaire and Thomas de Quincey. It is considered the group’s best album from a lyrical standpoint.

The track “Indus” contains a melody that is very similar to the melody of “Within You Without You,” a Beatles song that George Harrison composed with Indian musicians. Although not deliberate, Perry and Gerrard were asked to contact Harrison for his permission to use it; he granted it, but the record company insisted that they give him partial songwriting credit for it.
