This week we "Gather" for #AlternateFridayMusic

This 80s-90s Aussie band is fronted by the incomparable Lisa Gerrard. Even if you've never heard of her, you've probably heard her voice in a million places. Her full bodied contralto voice has an astounding range, able to hit controlled notes octaves above the expected. Semi operatic with a splash of eastern Europe and a healthy dose of melancholy. Brendan Perry's instrumentation for this band fuses themes and instruments from the middle ages to the baroque, which compliments her sound perfectly.
