English Introduction

《Wake》 (2003) is the comeback single/EP by Australian darkwave pioneers Dead Can Dance, their first studio release after a seven-year hiatus. Blending industrial rhythms, medieval chant and Eastern instrumentation, it heralded their evolved global musical lexicon.

Key Features:

  • 《Wake》(Album Version) — Brendan Perry's baritone meets Turkish oud and electronic beats
  • 《The Lotus Eaters》 — Lisa Gerrard's glossolalia vocals resonate like cathedral echoes
  • 《Frontier》(Demo) — Includes unused Mongolian throat singing passages

Context:
A prelude to their 2005 world tour, the artwork adapts Hieronymus Bosch's The Tree Man, symbolizing "nature-industry" duality. Japanese editions include a 2003 Notre-Dame Cathedral soundcheck recording of American Dreaming.


风格 Genre: Neoclassical Darkwave / World Industrial
录音细节 Recording: 使用19世纪簧风琴(Harmonium)与模块合成器并联
稀有版本 Rarity: 测试压盘版含未混音的《The Lotus Eaters》人声轨

这首单曲如同从时光裂缝中传来的觉醒号角,2018年MoMA将其列入“重塑新世纪音乐定义的30个关键作品”。
Like a clarion call from temporal fissures—MoMA included it in 2018's "30 Works That Redefined New Age". ??

Trivia: Lisa Gerrard的人声录音在墨尔本废弃发电站完成,墙面锈蚀金属赋予独特的泛音。
