The Mirror Pool. The Mirror Pool is Lisa Gerrard's first solo album, released in 1995 (one year before the release of Spiritchaser, the last work Dead Can Dance put out before disbanding in 1998).
Overview[edit] About the album's title, Gerrard explained: "If you read about African music, they believe that during the process of making this music that you come into contact with spirits from another plane. They say that this place is like a mirror of the world we live in, [...] With the best music, you don't find the composer or the musicians within the work, you find yourself, your own feelings.

The pedigree of Lisa Gerrard is that which is often spoken of in hushed tones, as if dealing with a holy voice, an untouchable persona.
But the reality is, she does possess a holy voice. After her majestic stint with Dead Can Dance, a few highly regarded soundtracks, several albums recorded as a duo, and her own (The Mirror Pool - 1995), she has achieved heights that so very few can reach.
