After two decades at the helm of London's premiere chamber-goth ensemble, Dead Can Dance, Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard celebrated the century's end by parting ways and pursuing solo projects. Though less celebrated than his ethereal-voiced cohort, Perry's ability to create catchy musical pastiches from classical, world, and electronic elements is evident here on seductive tracks such as "Voyage of Bran" and "Archangel." A cover of Tim Buckley's "I Must Have Been Blind" suggests the influence behind Perry originals such as "Saturday's Child" and "Medusa," while cheerful tracks such as "Death Will Be My Bride" summon up the spirit of Jim Morrison. 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. –Bill Forman
