That dead package sure can dance
While I was at work, one of my coworkers sent me an instant message stating that he received his Dead Can Dance live album in the mail. I was excited since I had ordered two of them myself from the concert that we went to.
When I got home, sure enough two packages were in my mailbox. My album is 0286 of 1000. I have another that was meant to be a Christmas gift. These were supposed to arrive in November, but shipping had been delayed for various reasons.
During this time in between, Dead Can Dance had released another album, Memento: The Very Best of Dead Can Dance. Some day, I’ll go ahead and get that one too. I have 10 albums now and they are all fantastic. Ten percent of my five star ratings have been songs by this group alone.
I didn’t like the packaging too well. The case was different in that it resembled the size of a DVD case. The two discs inside were placed together - one on top of the next. This isn’t great for anyone who wants to play the discs often, as they can scratch against each other when you remove and put them back. Fortunately, I have an iPod and get to import the music strait to that. I have a nice shelf to place the Dead Can Dance album on display so that I can see it any time I go into my storage room.
I found that the track list wasn’t available from CDDB just yet so I uploaded some track names for both discs in case anyone else could use them later on. As my luck would have it, the CD-ID on the CD itself is probably unique on each disc.
