I purchased a copy of the album in July 2024, with the following information on the records:
CAD 3629 BN93977 01 A1
CAD 3629 BN93977 01 B1
Help identify the release, has it not been added to the site or is it a repress of a vinyl already included in the database?

Edited one year agoI just bought this from Juno records and is a 2023 pressing but not by mpo. Does anybody else have this? -
I recently found out that the intro of „Anywhere out of the world“ is quite similar to Billy Goldenbergs soundtrack in this Columbo episode (check music at 4:10)

All Dead Can Dance albums are unique, beautiful and special.
The best songs, however for me, are:
- Mesmerism,
- Musica Eternal,
- Avatar,
- Ocean,
- In Power We Entrust the Love Advocated,
- The Arcane,
- De Profundis,
- Circumradiant Dawn,
- Ascension,
- Indocrination,
- The fatal impact,
- Frontier,
- Summoning of the Muse. -
Edited 2 years agoA beautiful, evocative album, dark and bright, with a beautiful unity throughout the record of this rather twilight modern classical atmosphere.
The album refers to 19th century Paris with this reference to the poem "N'importe où hors du monde" by Charles Baudelaire (Le Spleen de Paris) at the opening of the album. The cover photo was taken in the Parisian cemetery, le cimetière du Père-Lachaise.
The group was on the rise at the time. A masterpiece. -
I have first pressings of pretty much all the 4AD albums which are the bands best IMO as I’m not a huge fan of the later albums. They all sound amazing. And the packaging is exquisite -
I’m sure I’m not the only fan that at the start saw DCD as Lisa Gerard and that bloke. History has shown this analysis was kinda correct as Lisa went on to become an award winning film soundtrack composer and Brendan Perry, well, didn’t. However it was on this LP where Bren fulfilled the potential he showed on their previous two albums. Although the LP for many, including me, is famous for being the source of the sample for Future Sound Of London’s biggest hit Papua New Guinea, it is on the tsunami of a song Xavier where Bren’s sub Matt Munro baritone swept me away. Ever since that song and that LP I’ve been very much Team Bren. Well most of the time. -
This version is the best sounding LP of my entire collection. Zero surface noise, no pops of any kind. Album is a masterpiece of course.
