Análisis (en inglés) - :
Early punk backgrounds and the like behind them, {$Perry} and {$Gerrard} created a striking, dour landmark in early-'80s atmospherics on their first, self-titled effort. Bearing much more resemblance to the similarly gripping, dark early work of bands like {$the Cocteau Twins} and {$the Cure} than to the later fusions of music that would come to characterize the duo's sound, {^Dead Can Dance} is as goth as it gets in many places. {$Perry} and {$Gerrard}'s wonderful vocal work -- his rich, warm tones and her unearthly, multi-octave exaltations -- are already fairly well established, but serve different purposes here. Thick, shimmering guitar and rumbling bass/drum/drum machine patterns practically scream their sonic connections to the likes of {$Robin Guthrie} and {$Robert Smith}, but they still sound pretty darn good for all that. When they stretch that sound to try for a more distinct, unique result, the results are astonishing. {$Gerrard} is the major beneficiary here -- {&"Frontier"} explicitly experiments with tribal percussion, resulting in an excellent combination of her singing and the rushed music. Then there's the astonishing {&"Ocean,"} where guitar and chiming bells and other rhythmic sounds provide the bed for one of her trademark -- and quite, quite lovely -- vocal excursions into the realm of glossolalia. {$Perry} in contrast tends to be matched with the more straightforward numbers of digital processing and thick, moody guitar surge. The album ends on a fantastic high note -- {&"Musica Eternal,"} featuring a slowly increasing-in-volume combination of hammered dulcimer, low bass tones, and {$Gerrard}'s soaring vocals. As an indicator of where the band was going, it's perfect. ~ Ned Raggett, All Music Guide
