Dead Can Dance

“Memento: The Very Best of Dead Can Dance”

If ever a band was meant to be listened to album by album, it’s Dead Can Dance. But as an excuse to delve into the group, the single-disc “Memento” is a fine entry point with a nice balance of Brendan Perry’s crooning and Lisa Gerrard’s wordless, operatic, swoon-inducing songs.

Best track: Perry dramatically recasts Bertolt Brecht on “How Fortunate the Man with None.”
