Lisa Gerrard

Nineteen vignettes of sacred, cinematic mourning. A vast landscape of glossolalia and cathedral-sized reverb that feels ancient and futuristic at once.

Moments Worth Listening For
the sudden expansion of vocal harmony on 'The Secret Language of Angels' that feels like a physical weight lifting
the way the percussive strike in 'River Dance' cuts through the dense synth wash like a heartbeat
the fragile, isolated vocal opening of 'Diary for the Fallen' before the orchestral layers swell
