Dead Can Dance - Saltarello

I've always been a fan of medieval and renaissance music, so Aion wasn't quite the revelation to me that it was to a lot of indieheads. Well, maybe it was in the sense that it was the first record I liked of theirs. In fairness to them I hadn't actually heard the previous records apart from one or two tracks, but those one or two tracks were stodgy goth that did absolutely nothing for me. I suppose that may be like judging this album on the basis of "Black Sun", which would obviously be completely unfair (not to mention misleading). So maybe I should go back and listen their earlier albums again. Anyway, here's a great track from Aion.
