    Dead Can Dance’s second album, Spleen And Ideal (1985), saw them experiment more with instrumentation, abandoning guitars in favour of cello, trombone and timpani. Widely acclaimed, there was now a richness of uni cation between voice and music, lyrics and structure, showing they had a concrete sense of the aural ideal they were striving towards. It’s title was taken from Spleen et Idéal, a collection of poems by 18th century French poet Charles Baudelaire.

    The band’s official website stated that the album title was taken “from 19th Century symbolist ideals”. The title is directly taken from “Spleen et Idéal”, a collection of poems by French poet Charles Baudelaire which form a section of his magnum opus Les Fleurs du mal.

    Discussing the album’s musical style, All music commented that with Spleen and Ideal, Dead Can Dance “fully took the plunge into the heady mix of musical traditions that would come to define its sound and style for the remainder of its career. The straightforward goth affectations are exchanged for a sonic palette and range of imagination”

    The 2016 LP version is a repress of the original release.

    Hunting Lodge ‎– 1982-1989


    Hunting Lodge ‎– 1982-1989
    Label: Dark Vinyl Records ‎– DV74
    Format: CD, Album, Compilation, Limited Edition
    Country: US
    Released: 14 Jul 2017
    Style: Experimental, Industrial, Post-Punk

    HUNTING LODGE can be seen as one of the few real «Industrial » pioneers in the early 80`s (beside SPK, LUSTMORD, THROBBING GRISTLE ..) «1982 – 1989» represents the «song oriented» side of a band that evolved relentlessly throughout its 8 years of existence. Incl. the remastered / restored version of the legendary underground club hit: «Tribal Warning Shot» Lon C. Diehl & Richard Skott met in Port Huron, Michigan, a «rust belt» town bordering Canada, in 1981, and quickly bonded over their fascination with the music of T.G., SPK, M.B., and Dome. The duo, having previously been involved in separate musical projects, decided to join forces and Hunting Lodge was born. Joined by Karl Nordstrom, the trio mixed synthesizers, bass, metal & electronic percussion, time-shifting effects, and vocals into a dark sonic stew. Nordstrom moved to San Francisco after the recording of the first Hunting Lodge release, the cassette-only At The Harrington Ballroom (1982). Diehl now employed a Roland Synth, Sequencer & 808 drum machine. Skott added his guitar to the musical arsenal, which he used to trigger a Korg MS-20 synth and a vocoder. Diehl and Skott continued recording at a feverish pace, and their first LP, WILL (track 14) was released in 1983.
