The sample used in the opening part of the song is from Zulu (AKA the longest fight scene in a movie ever), was watching it for the first time, and that jumped out at me.
This was on Miami Vice, on the episode in season 2 about the ritualistic killings, i think second epi of second season...anyhow, this is probably their best song in my opinion...they have so many great ones!
This is the worst produced DCD song. I've read somewhere that brendan was very unsatisfied by the sound of their first album, i think that particularly this track has a bad bad sound although it is awesome in terms of power and suggestion...but the sound is so bad..it seems like you're listening to a demo recording....
Recently bought the re-editions of the DCD albums, lovely thick vinyl, hard sleeves and the pure enjoyment of seeing these great black pancakes on the record player... I didn't know their debut one but I definetely love it! Thanks.
Songs like this (mainly from their first album, though Black Sun and The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove also have their place) have made Dead Can Dance a longtime legend in the Goth subculture. I am happy to dance to their songs when they come up in the club or play them myself.
This song is sampling the movie Zulu as far as I can tell. I just watched a YouTube video called Zulu War Chants, and from 1:51 to 1:57, those are the chants and intro "stampede" sound.
Funny enough I was looking for an Africa Bambaataa song and clicked the Zulu clip instead, and recognized this song instantly as it's my favorite from this album.
@songojin that's some cool info to know, thanks for the post!! isn't it funny how we can accidentally find samples from music we love that we didn't know were samples to begin with?!!? now i will always have that scene from the movie in my head when i hear this track. cheers :)
I must get this album now! I have Into the Labyrinth but I need MORE. Its been awhile since iv been on a kick. I didnt know Ocean was form their first album...

One of the greatest albums of my life. I'll never forget the first time I heard this, back in 1992. Thank you Sarah Huska! Thank you for ever!
