On what the band believed to be their last album in 1996, 'Spiritchaser', they made yet another shift, away from the distinctly Gaelic qualities of 'Into the Labyrinth', towards African and South American styles. Contrary to the opinion of some, Dead Can Dance were not obsessed with the past, nor did they provide a sense of nostalgic escape into bygone ages. They severed boundaries and set music free from the fetters of time and place, soaring out of the immediate world. Musical outsiders they may have been, but Dead Can Dance's vision and faith will ensure a continuing legacy and an undiminished appeal.
