DCD are one of my favorite bands - but not specifically new age/progressive. Their early stuff (first three albums) are definitely what one would call "gothic" and by the time of their fourth _Serpent's Egg_ they were brancing out to more ambient/ "world music" constructions. They've continued this wonderfully on their last two albums ... _Aion_ constitutes a return to medieval times, while _Into the Labyrinth_ goes in the tribal direction. Anyway, all their albums sound markedly different and are all brilliant except possibly for the first one. ------------------------------------------------|------------------------------ "categories strain, crack, and sometimes break | Harvey D.
