Lisa Gerrard & Heavenly Bodies - Heaven (Heavenly Bodies)

The last song performed by Heavenly Bodies with Lisa Gerrard on vocal, as the opening act's performance before a few Dead Can Dance's "Spleen And Ideal" shows in 1986. And this one was taken in the Hochschule für Technik Mensa, Bremen on 28-May-1986.

Those 8-9 songs that Heavenly Bodies played in supporting the Spleen And Ideal tour were all unreleased and unpublished.

If you're interested in this track, as well as some other instrumentals they played on the tour, try asking robertplee for more information if he's still around ;-)

Is this the same group Heavenly Bodies that did the track "Rains on Me"? The album "Celestail" was on C'Est La Mort label, and I believe the vocalist Caroline was also on This Mortal Coil.

Exactly!

Just they later found Caroline Seaman to sing on their "Celestial" debute

I think I know the dcd pretty well: I've never, ever heard that song before: where did you get it for god sake?

[zantheum]

Ah... because it's an unreleased track written & performed mainly by the DCD stage backing musicians "Heavenly Bodies", but you still can find the live audio track and an incomplete studio track in an unofficial DCD concert album called "Unreleased Tracks Vol.1". Hope you enjoy it as much as I do ;-)

didn't know this one, wow, great, pleasure and pain, beautiful!

Lycia, it is definitely not a crime not to know about something. It is a crime to pretend to know something and present it as true when it is not true !!! So please check your sources! As Robert says, Peter Bourke came really late in Lisa life: he never ever had to do with Dead Can Dance...

Yours. Bruno

As a 4AD enthusiast (and Lisa Gerrard/Heavenly Bodies fan), I never new such a collaboration existed!

@zantheum I hope they re-release "Celestial"... I have it on cassette, but I would love to have a digital version as I no longer have a tape player, lol!

Fantastic song

[SpellboundG2]

Heavenly Bodies has a fantastic album out called Celestial and Caroline Seamen definately holds her own vocally on the album. Great music and 'Time Stands Still' is a standout track! Check it out people!

Beautiful both physically and vocally.
