Rating: - Dead Can Dance : Passage In Time
Excellent CD with many titles that are from previous releases and a few that are new. A great sampling of the many superb works by this band..
Rating: - Alternative? New age? Folk?
Your pick. But this is a unique collection that takes traditional sounds and expands on them to include different instrumentation, a really exotic voice, and a feel to take you to alternate realities.
The music is not consistent from one track to the next but it is all in the umbrella of Dead Can Dance. To extract what you really want you may need to buy a few of the albums and do a little ripping.
If you are going to buy one album I would suggest starting with this one. Although I found most track intriguing my favorites are 2 (Song Of Sophia), 12 (The Song Of The Sybil) and 8 (The Host Of Seraphim). The only problem with Song of Sophia is that it is too short.

Rating: - A fantastic Collection
This CD is one of the best to introduce your friends and family to Dead Can Dance. The wide variety of music is more than 'background music'. The pieces grab hold of you for the first time and you become so moved by the music. This CD got me hooked on Dead Can Dance and I have searched for so many of their other pieces to add to my collection.
Rating: - From a first listen...
My daughter brought the CD on a recent road trip, hoping I would like it as much as she does. While this disk isn't one I would be likely to choose for driving tunes, when I got it home and could listen to it more carefully, I discovered a rich sound full of movement and color for the imagination.
The mixture of music types flows from culture to culture, touching on legends and myths allowing us to sample places and times we may otherwise miss. As soon as I return her CD, I will be making a purchase (or two) and start my own collection of Dead Can Dance.
