3.0 out of 5 stars PLEASANT ENOUGH, December 13, 2000

Although some of these covers tend towards the forgettable, this is a pleasant enough album. The delightful exceptions include the magnificent Ulysses by Surface 10 - a very impressive version with its solemn world-weary male voice and beautiful arrangement, the aggressive/erotic punk Cantara by Evil Mothers and the spooky, whispered Carnival Is Over by Leather Strip. And why is The Unbiquitous Mr Lovegrove covered twice? Far better candidates for memorable cover versions would have been Persephone (The Gathering Of Flowers) or The Host Of Seraphim. I can understand that DCD fanatics won't appreciate this album, but the above three tracks make it worthwhile.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's not that bad, November 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Carnival Within: Dead Can Dance Tribute (Audio CD)

Man, the last two reviews would make you think that it was entirely noise. It's actually got some really good songs on here. Granted some of the songs could have been left off an no one would have noticed, a couple of songs sound just like Dead Can Dance, but there are a few that are gold. Leaether Strip's cover of The Carnival is Over was a perfect interpretation of DCD's style.

This review is from: Carnival Within: Dead Can Dance Tribute (Audio CD)

i think i won't be able to be smart enough with my english to correctly writing here how far this "album" is from the original DcD spirit, having tried to mix (?) it through a piece of software i presume and put into these immortal songs some hip hop or dance or crust like that.
