Not sure I will be able to provide a link to this music, I was listening to a compilation today on my mp3 and some of the music made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. When I was much much younger most of us knew about a band called Dead Can Dance, I liked the occasional track but the discovered their albums in about 1989, then I sort of worked my way back from there. Dead Can Dance were active from 1981-1998 and briefly reformed in 2005 for a one off tour.
Dead Can Dance's music I would describe as truly gothic, not in image and packaging but in sound and mood. I notice on Wikipedia their sound is described as new wave dark wave(whatever that is). I think the nearest comparison I could make is like scott walker brothers singing over classical/gothic rock.
Their first album was very underproduced but they hit their collective stride when they became a duo, they released a succession of albums like 'Within the realm of the dying sun', 'Serpents Egg'.
Their recorded output was timeless and is truly world music
