Drumming with Dead Can Dance and parallel adventures

"Ulrich recounts his experiences as drummer/percussionist with Dead Can Dance through the 1980s, contributor to This Mortal Coil, and guest on other 4AD recordings. After leaving DCD for family reasons, he tracks their parallel paths-DCD's demises and rebirths; solo careers of Lisa Gerrard, Brendan Perry, and his own; Gerrard's co-creation of the Gladiator soundtrack; and Ulrich's collaboration with producer Trebor Lloyd and a host of artists from the New York scene. Packed with detail from the formative period of Dead Can Dance, a fan's-eye view of the later years (with the advantage of a backstage pass), and a broad sweep through just about every corner of the wider musical landscape"--
