DEAD CAN DANCE - SPLEEN AND IDEAL (HYBRID STEREO SACD)

Dead Can Dance Spleen And Ideal On Hybrid Stereo SACD

4AD Releases Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab Remastered Editions of Nine Titles in the Dead Can Dance Catalog on SACD!

The primarily experimental structure of Dead Can Dance's second album, Spleen and Ideal, released at the beginning of 1986, dispelled any notion that the band deserved the post-Gothic label slapped on them by the music press. Spleen and Ideal defined a new richness of unification between voice and music, lyrics and structure, that suggested a concrete sense of the aural ideal the band was striving for. The title of the album was taken from a piece of poetry from the 18th Century Romantic poet, Baudelaire, and was chosen for the fact that it evoked the “conflict between sinning flesh (spleen), and the struggle to realize the ideal.”

This album was remastered by MFSL (Mobile Fidelity Sound Laboratory), one of the most respected audiophile labels in the U.S.A. They are in the hybrid stereo SACD format and are packaged in Japanese paper sleeves which replicate the original U.K. vinyl releases, including replica original inner sleeves and new additional booklets with lyrics, album labels and other images.
