AWESOME. New Brendan Perry Album "Ark"

AWESOME. The inimitable Brendan Perry (half of Dead Can Dance for those of you who don't know...) will be on tour and I just listened to his sparkling new album Ark. Hopefully his tour will cross Berlin while I'm there this fall *fingers crossed*
Ark is the sort of album you'd expect from Mr. Perry. Babylon is fill of the horns and timpani drums that inhabit his creations - with his lush baritone mixed in at just the right level. The standout track for me (so far) is The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, although it appears Utopia (below) is the 'single' for the album. Not a bad track if you are a fan, and a great place to start if you weren't already!~
