Lisa Gerrard
The Mirror Pool

Time to blog ended up being a little tight today, what with having to work (really!) and celebrate a friend's birthday tonight. So this is necessarily brief. Suffice it to say that Lisa Gerrard has turned into a phenomenon, what with the movie soundtracks and million-selling CDs. She could probably just moan softly into a microphone at this point, and the recording would go platinum. (Come to think of it, that's what it sounds like she's doing lately.)

But The Mirror Pool was her first solo album following her career with Dead Can Dance, and I think she recorded it following the death of her brother. It's a rich, emotionally resonant collection of pieces (calling them "songs" seems to cheapen them somehow) that easily matches the best of her vocal work with DCD.
