Product Notes:
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
monotono times,
Perry's
first solo
effort is a
mature work
worthy of
his
reputation.
