It depends on my mood. There are quite a few humdingers in their discography. Today though I’m voting for Spleen & Ideal

Having listened to all ten Dead Can Dance albums now, my vote goes to "Anastasis" (2012). Here's the first track from the album.....
"Children of the Sun" |

I'll cast my vote tomorrow when I've listened to their last three albums, although Within the Realm of a Dying Sun is the best of the seven Dead Can Dance Albums I've listened to so far.

You could start with Within the Realm of a Dying Sun. I listened to the album again today for the first time in a long time and I'd forgotten just how good it is. I'm not going to vote for that album yet though because I still have another seven Dead Can Dance albums to listen to again before I cast my vote.

Toward the Within. Not just their best album IMHO but a great live album.

No vote for me. As much as I tried, I could never get into their music.

"Into the Labyrinth" closely followed by "Spiritchaser" and "Aion" for me. Though I pretty much love all of them.

I'm looking forward to hearing the Aion for the first time on Sunday. I was surprised to find Dead Can Dance in the Prog Folk section of ProgArchives. I never thought of Dead Can Dance as a Prog Folk band before.

Aion hands down favourite for me, but I do love them all.

It's a long time since I've listened to Dead Can Dance's albums too, so I'm currently listening to them all again on YouTube before I cast my vote.

Dying Sun.....then Spleen and Ideal ,,,then Aion....but they are all decent imho.
But as was mentioned the later ones do have a lot of world music influence.

I don't remember when was the last time i listened to an album from DCD, that long ago. I wouldn't even know where to (re)start if i wanted to listen to them again.

I wasn't so keen on their first self-titled album, but I'll give Within the Realm of a Dying Sun another listen tomorrow.
