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.
