Aion

By their fifth album, even as Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard had separated personally, their musical partnership had reached notable heights, able to tour Aion in the US even without record distribution while achieving even more of a reputation in goth, industrial and world music circles. Aion kept their streak going to the full, the duo self-producing work that took an even more specifically historical European music turn, including adaptations of a 14th century Italian song, “Saltarello,” and both Castilian and Catalonian lyrics from the early modern period.
