Dead Can Dance resurrects themselves to the top of the the Echoes Top 25 for September with their album, Anastasis. Anastasis means resurrection and it was the Echoes CD of the Month for September. Sounds from the Ground returns with a surprising showing at number two with their album, Widerworld and a couple of albums from the rock side of things crack the Top 5 with SHEL‘s eponymous debut and Tycho’s Dive. That album came out last November, but it just made it’s way to Echoes. Look for a great live performance by this band on October 22. It’s a pretty eclectic list, from the medieval songs of Hirundo Maris off their CD-Chants du Sud et du Nord to the dream pop of Azure Ray, from the cutting edge electronica ambient chamber music of Sebastion Plano to the progressive rock echoes of Sensations Fix.
