	Brendan Perry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Brendan Perry (born June 30, 1959 in Whitechapel, London) is a singer and multi-instrumentalist who is the male half of the duo, Dead Can Dance, with Lisa Gerrard.
		In 1977, Perry was a leading member of New Zealand punk rock band The Scavengers, working under the pseudonym of Ronnie Recent.
		Perry's work with these two bands can be found on the compilation album, AK-79, and on a compilation of Scavengers singles which has recently been released on CD.

	The born of a myth
		Brendan Perry lives on an island in a river on the border between Eire and Northern Ireland; Lisa Gerrard lives in the Snow River mountains in Australia.
		Perry suggests that Dead Can Dance music tends to mirror the music that the pair are listening to, or have been researching he in his converted church in Ireland (where Spiritchaser was written and recorded), and Lisa in the remote Gippsland region of Southern Australia.
		Perry: "With this record, I was conscious of the fact that we were delving into areas that we had worked in before, so we made a conscious decision to move away from that.

	Brendan Perry: album reviews and ratings
		Brendan's impressive voice is as powerful as ever, but unfortunately, the songs do not carry the innovative and catchy sounds of Dead Can Dance.
		Brendan left all the exotic musical instruments behind and attacked this record with nothing but a guitar and his sonorous vocal chords.
		Perry croons his trance inducing melodies without breaking form or function, resulting in a collection of songs that should not be heard while operating heavy machinery.

		Brendan explains: "These groups were made up largely of people who had no background or formal training in music but who were prepared to play instruments in an experimental and somewhat unconventional fashion." Brendan's involvement in this movement led to a meeting that was significant in shaping his subsequent musical direction.
		Brendan's reasons for developing Quivvy were a combination of the creative and financial: "I was horrified by the amount of money that record companies paid out to studios to record their artists — who, in turn, would see no profits until they had at least paid back the recording debt through record sales.
		Brendan's material is usually derived in the first instance from improvisations on various instruments, ranging from stringed (guitars, oud, bouzouki, tampura, hurdy-gurdy) to percussion (congas, djembe, dumbek, drum kit, bodhran) to keys (samplers and synthesizers).

		Perry's vocal efforts are no less compelling, his own high point occurring with the vast-sounding 'Enigma of the Absolute,' as a steady, massive drum pound echoes behind a similarly treated guitar/harpsichord combination, tinged with a striking string arrangement.
		On Severance, Brendan Perry complements Lisa's introduction to the LP with lyrics emoting feelings of oppression and anguish, reflecting the deep impression left on this self-indulgent group by the macabre poetry of Baudelaire.

		As one half of the creative partnership that was at the center of DCD, rumors of a solo album from Brendan Perry were one of the few things fans held on to while mourning the loss of the band.
		Perry's lyrics are one of the most intriguing aspects of this project.

		and it's worth noting that sometimes Brendan Perry's singing can be annoying (or maybe it's the lyrics to the songs he chooses); lisa gerrard's recent solo album is ideal if he annoys you.
		I couldn't help but feel that Brendan's voice was overmiked to the point of being obnoxious, and (to be honest) I actually left a little early (before the encore), which I've never done at a concert before.
		I always thought that Brendan Perry had a good grounding influence on her.

	The History of Rock Music. Dead Can Dance: biography, discography, reviews, links
		Tutto sommato Perry fa bene a intonare Song Of The Dispossessed con il piglio di un canto proletario di Robert Wyatt: se il ritmo brasiliano e` stucchevole, il duetto fra il tema fatalista del clarinetto e la figura minimalista del pianoforte costituisce il vertice di pathos del disco e uno dei capolavori personali di Perry.
		The Brendan Perry solo album that marks the end of Dead Can Dance, Eye Of The Hunter (4AD, 1999), is an intensely personal statement arranged for (synthesized) orchestra and a plethora of acoustic instruments.
		Perry is not gifted with the cunning introspection of modern songwriters such as Smog or Magnetic Fields, or even Mark Lanegan, but he successfully compensates his old-fashioned style by enveloping the personal into the epic.

		Although Perry and Gerrard's solo projects have yet to transcend their shared legacy, Eye of the Hunter is welcome reassurance that the dead still dance.
		This isn't a DCD cd, and it reveals Brendan Perry as the more musically restrained of the two, but the overall mood of the eight tracks on Eye of the Hunter does recall certain DCD tracks such as "Severance" (from Serpent's Egg) or "I Can See Now" (from Toward the Within).
		Brendan Perry wrote everything except Tim Buckley's "I Must Have Been Blind" (also covered by labelmates This Mortal Coil).

		Brendan Perry, however, sticks to the tried and true Dead Can Dance formula, which is difficult to describe since every album is different.

	Brendan Perry : Eye of the Hunter - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Brendan Perry's solo debut, Eye of the Hunter, builds on his reputation as Dead Can Dance's meditative, baritone singer/songwriter.
		Perry's rich vocals and the songs' orchestral-folk arrangements and somber titles give the album an intriguing Gothic/easy listening feel, similar to Scott Walker's darkest Baroque pop.
		Along with seven original tracks like "Medusa," "Saturday's Child," and "Archangel," Eye of the Hunter also includes a thoughtful cover of Tim Buckley's "I Must Have Been Blind." Though the stately pace of the songs becomes monotonous at times, Perry's first solo effort is a mature work worthy of his reputation.

		That performance was one of many extra-curricular activities for Kim in 1990 - a year which also found her stepping beyond the confines of the Pixies with her own group, The Breeders.
		Dead Can Dance's Aion (CAD 0007) was the natural culmination of Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry's growing interest in non-contemporary music.
		It's unquestionably the Dead Can Dance album which owes the least to the 20th Century - or the 19th, 18th and 17th centuries, for that matter - and the music beneath its Hieronymous Bosch sleeve was shot through with ancient mystery and profound beauty.

		Brendan Perry is the last of his former Dead Can Dance companions to put out a solo project.

		Brendan Perry "lives by the river, where the old gods still dream of inner communion with the open sea." His seasoned baritone voice weaves through a spacious soundscape.
		However, that is not true as this is only Brendan Perry being himself, loose from the restrictions of others' expectations.
		There's a certain understated beauty in many of these songs with their delicate string sections and soaring vocals.
