The Mirror Pool

Released

Lisa Gerrard’s solo album debut appeared during the final years of Dead Can Dance’s first phase of existence, itself drawing on a variety of pieces she had worked on both within and outside of the duo’s work – two songs, “Sanvean” and “Persian Love Song,” had initially appeared on that group’s live album and film Toward the Within. It’s a strong showcase of her well-established vocal, songwriting and technical talents, and, supplemented by John Bonnar’s orchestral arrangements, has the air of a yearning, ages-old myth summoned to the present.
