The Eye of the Hunter: The long awaited solo debut of
ex-co-leader of Dead Can Dance, Brendan Perry has
finally seen the light. Brendan's impressive voice is as powerful as ever, but
unfortunately, the songs do not carry the innovative and catchy sounds of
Dead Can Dance. Brendan left all the exotic musical
instruments behind and attacked this record with nothing but a guitar and his
sonorous vocal chords.
If it wasn't for the greatness of the man behind it, "Eye
of the Hunter" would have never made it to this section of
Musicfolio.

Discography - Album / CD Reviews |
  ½ 1999: Eye of the Hunter
"... a hypnotic collection of evocative, yet sparse
orchestrations that move along with a subtle and undeniable ease. The progress
here is minimal, as the album plays like a natural next step, rather than a
turn toward something uncharted. Perry croons his trance inducing melodies
without breaking form or function, resulting in a collection of songs that
should not be heard while operating heavy machinery. The good news is that fans
of this somber warrior will be thrilled to finally hear what he's been up to.
The bad news is that unless you're out looking for the latest craze in
achieving tranquility in this hectic world, this solo debut probably won't
capture any new followers."
