I am a fan of Dean Can Dance too. I have 7 so far: 1) The serpents egg, 2)Into the labyrinth, 3) Toward the within, 4) A passage in time, 5) Within the realm of a dying sun, 6) Dead Can Dance (self-titled), and 7) Aion. Each CD presents a different type of musical theme with updated rhythmic progressions overlayed/integrated. The texture is wonderful. Since each CD is quite different, I can tell you my favorites, but can't tell you their "best" really. I like the last three in my list the most, and particularly enjoyed their self-titled one. Incidentally, you should definitely consider This Mortal Coil too (another lisa gerard band - together with dierde rutlowski - most people who like DCD like them too) - some wonderful vocal work on all, though the CD with "Another Day" has two of the greatest. The CDs "Blood" and "Filigree&Shadow" have some incredible vocals too.
Enjoy!
