A DVD cover, nice.  No, not a DCD cover.  A DCD DVD cover.

I agree with the theme here. As a huge DCD fan, I think there are a lot of other tracks that would be more compelling to the wide audience on RP [in addition to the several great ones already on the RP playlist!]

Or, mayhap, you're offended that others don't treat your tastes as dispositive.

Previous poster referred to RP elitists dissing it because of 'ethnic sounds'.  I can certainly hear artists trying very hard to create just that, but I ain't convinced that they achieved it - a nice 'accepable-by-most' distortion of it though ...
 
Lisa Gerrard is the ultimate!!!! Dead can Dance,,,,,,is ssooo far off the ordinary! The new species in music.

low number of plays, and a low number of ratings, I wouldn't fret too much

DCD makes a nice change when they come around on the playlist. I have to be in the mood, but wow can they hit the right buttons when I am.

A 10-year gap in play for this cut, too bad.  DCD remain near the top of my Desert Island list, always intriguing.

Years ago, I saw a VHS vid featuring DCD and some amazing and amazingly choreographed video from Africa, mostly from the air, that included migrating birds and herds, sinuous rivers through jungle, and traditionally clad tribal dances.  Has anyone else seen it?  Title?

 
Yes: Baraka

Coming not long after Thievery Corp's "Doors of Perception," I find this sublime and inspiring... Hypnotic melodic and percussive swirls

it's a crime to rate any DCD creation lower than 6! Hence, 10 :)

I love this band, but this tune is one of their lesser efforts. (That I was prevously unaware of)
