He worked with real African, Middle Eastern musicians to make the Last Temptation of Christ Soundtrack and then made another with just them.
His Album SO is my second favorite album of all time, I remember buying it because it had Shock The Monkey on it and that ended up being my least favorite song on the album.
Dead Can Dance was led by Lisa Gerrard who along with Sinead O'Connor and Celine Dion have the most exquisite voices I've ever heard.
