Beyond words.
7 Nov 2005
Format:Audio CD
Honestly, this music is almost pointless to describe. It really needs to be heard, felt, and absorbed to blow your mind. But in words, it is a unique blend of folk, electronica, goth, and world music. In one word, I'd say it sounds ancient. This is actually their second collection. "A Passage In Time" is one track longer than this, however "Momento" includes tracks since, like the earthy "Yulunga". Existing fans might simply choose which disc has more of their favorite songs. New fans will love either. As with any "Best Of" I miss quite alot, but as a sampling of their work, "Momento" is wonderful.

Serves best as an introduction to the band
8 Dec 2005
Format:Audio CD
I consider myself extremely fortunate to have seen Dead Can Dance on their 2005 reunion tour, at their October date in New York City at Radio City Music Hall. They have been my #1 all-time favorite band for years, so it was an absolute thrill and easily ranks as the best concert experience of my life. But much like 'Memento', although the content was fantastic, there wasn't much new.
That's NOT a complaint, mind you. I realize that on a reunion tour not every band can come up with new stuff. In a live environment that's entirely understandable. For a 'best of' album though, a few great songs are noticeably missing (I think it'd be impossible to fit a true 'best of' DCD on one disc though), and they have already released a few compilations with much, if not all, of this material on them.
It serves as a great introduction to the band for those who haven't heard their fantastic music before, so if you're one of those people who have never heard them but have always heard OF them, this might be for you. For a long-time fan like myself though, this isn't a must-have or anything, because I already have all of the material on other releases.
