Toward the Within was recorded in one take in November 1993 in the Mayfair Theatre in Santa Monica, California and was released by 4AD as an album and a video a year later. It was the last major event to take place in the Mayfair Theatre before it was fatally weakened in the earthquake a short time later and had to be demolished. The video was filmed by Mark Magidson and contains interviews with Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry.

  • lisa is one tripped out hippy chick. love her.

  • Fantastic band. I do hope that percussionist in the back has cut down on his caffeine intake since this video was released.

  • Brendan Perry...Lisa Gerrard...VOICES OF GODS....The humillity of what Humans should be :)

  • The funny thing hearing them speak, is that they come across as so gentle, thoughtful, academic. Then on stage, their music is like a FREIGHT TRAIN in its power! The impact! The tidal wave crashing, carrying YOU, your spirit, and your house, and your dog with it, too. You are in it, part of it...

  • I love it how Brendan Perry has a kind of high talking voice, but his singing voice sounds like a God.

  • GREAT MUSIC MAKES GREAT SONGS!!

  • ...Brendan still keeping items, memories...

  • @sigilant I know! Me too :D

  • I so enjoy 'bouncy guy' with the drums...

  • I love this song
