        "Aion" is the album that closes the first and most important phase of Dead Can Dance. It is a disc to have absolutely - "Aion" è l'album che chiude la prima e più importante fase dei Dead Can Dance. È un disco da avere assolutamente.

            This and serpents egg are when they switched to Matt textured sleeves for their first pressing releases. A bugger to keep in mint condition so get protective sleeves if you have OG copies!
