Dead Can Dance ----- Spleen and Ideal (full album)
Happy 36th Birthday to " Spleen and Ideal"!!!
On 25 November 1985, Dead Can Dance released their second studio album “Spleen and Ideal”. The album spearheaded the group's sonic transition from their post-punk and gothic rock-influenced roots towards a neoclassical dark wave style. The cover image shows the partial demolition of Grain Elevator No. 2 at Salford Quays, part of Manchester and Salford Docks.
In a retrospective review, AllMusic praised the album, calling it "amazing [...] 'haunting' and 'atmospheric' barely [scratch] even the initial surface of the album's power".
