Dead Can Dance discography
Upper-body shot of a forty-five-year-old man at left. He is peering at a stringed instrument on a lectern. A microphone is directed to a forty-three-year-old woman at right. She is shown partly in left profile, singing with her eyes closed, her left hand resting on top of the lectern. She wears a ring on her left hand. In the background is musical equipment, a high stage curtain, and a foot-light.
