Dead Can Dance's 'Spleen & Ideal' is regarded as the album in which the band would come to define its sound and style for the remainder of its career. The straightforward Goth affectations are exchanged for a sonic palette and range of imagination.
'Spleen & Ideal' is the band's second album and its title is directly taken from "Spleen et Idéal", a collection of poems by French poet Charles Baudelaire which form a section of his magnum opus Les Fleurs du mal.
