Toward the Within was recorded in one take in November 1993 in the Mayfair Theatre in Santa Monica, California and was released by 4AD as an album and a video a year later. It was the last major event to take place in the Mayfair Theatre before it was fatally weakened in the earthquake a short time later and had to be demolished. The video was filmed by Mark Magidson and contains interviews with Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry. This is the opening part, including Rakim and two declarations …









I hope they get back together and bring Dead Can Dance back to life.
I listened to this over and over again in the hospital after being maced. then later on in the year I was mostly kept in the hospital, I saw a friend by the name of Curtiss, the same name as the golden dawn author, in the harbour pointe mental hospital for eating a quarter sheet of acid. he is a dead ringer for the guy singing this.
very inspiring…
I had this video, from a friend who was there.
This song is awesome. I’ve had the cd since 1996 and it gets better every day.
The best song.
