    As much as I adore Dead Can Dance and her priceless voice, Lisa's solo work is too pompous to my taste. One might not necessarily fall in love with "The Mirror Pool" or "Duality", even if they did, and still do, love DCD. And vice versa. Best to try before you buy in any case.

      How strange that there are no comments on this album.. As I recall, her first album under her own name, after Dead Can Dance disbanded, and in a few words: eclectic--ancient, tribal, renaissance, gothic, original, and inspirational. Been listening to it for almost 10 years, and it is almost still as enchanting as it were when I first heard it.
