Lisa Gerrard/Patrick Cassidy - Immortal Memory*
Lisa Gerrard's Immortal Memory looks, and feels, like albums released by 4AD used to in the glory years defined by Cocteau Twins and This Mortal Coil; Gerrard, of course, was half of another definitive 4AD group, Dead Can Dance. The sumptuously packaged Immortal Memory is beautiful to look at, and no less pleasing to listen to. In company with Irish composer Patrick Cassidy, Gerrard has created a thing of fragile wonder. Dead Can Dance were always distinguished by a refusal to accept that music was a transient, fleeting fancy of humankind, forever reaching back to realms untouched by most modern musicians. On Immortal Memory, that approach is taken to its most fundamental extremes. The opening track, "The Song of Amergin", is an interpretation of what legend holds is the first poem uttered on Irish soil by a mortal being; later on the album there's an arrangement of "The Lord's Prayer" in Aramaic, the language spoken by Jesus. The music on Immortal Memory is Gerrard at her best: graceful, melodramatic orchestrations underpinning her extraordinary, keening voice. Gerrard remains a unique and treasurable talent, and Immortal Memory is a masterpiece. --Andrew Mueller Binding Audio CD. Artist(s): Lisa Gerrard Patrick Cassidy. Publisher(s): Select Distributions.
