Dead Can Dance - SACD Box Set

Dead Can Dance - австралийский музыкальный коллектив, состоявший прежде всего из Брендана Перри (Brendan Perry) и Лизы Джеррард (Lisa Gerrard). Группа основана в Мельбурне в 1981 году, распалась в 1998 году в результате творческого конфликта, и временно воссоединилась для проведения мирового турне в 2005 году. В 2011 году 15 мая на официальном блоге объявлено о воссоединении, выпуске нового альбома и мирового турне, которые запланированы на 2012 год.
В 2008 году для всех настоящих фанов проекта и просто ценителей высочайшего качества звука был зделан настоящий подарок - Ремастеринг всех девяти студийных записей DCD был осуществлен одной из самых известных студий США MFSL (Mobile Fidelity Sound Laboratory).
Все альбомы и EP ремстированы и выпущены в виде гибридных SACD / CDDA дисков. Слой SACD подготовлен в Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab. Диски упакованы на манер виниловых пластинок в картонный и бумажный конверты с буклетом. Оформление идентично тому, что присутствовало на ранее издававшихся "виниловых" версиях альбомов. Альбомы, издававшиеся в формате 2 пластинок содержат 2 бумажных конверта. Все диски упакованы в черный бархатный "бокс", который в свою очередь упакован в белую картонную коробку. Лимитированное издание в 1500 копий. Изготовлено на Warner Music Japan Inc.
