37 years ago (24 October 1988), Dead Can Dance released their fourth studio album "The Serpent's Egg". The album was the last produced while Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard were a romantic couple.
In a retrospective review, AllMusic said, "Perry and Gerrard continued to experiment and improve with The Serpent's Egg, as much a leap forward as Spleen and Ideal was some years previously", heaping particular praise on the album opener "The Host of Seraphim", which it called "so jaw-droppingly good that almost the only reaction is sheer awe".
