Zzzz * ABOUT * Cofounded in Australia in the early '80s by Irish punk bassist/singer Brendan Perry and Australian vocalist Lisa Gerrard, Dead Can Dance transplanted to London in 1982 and quickly became globally renowned for their stylistically diverse and groundbreaking music as well as their incredible live shows. Fusing atmospheric, ambient pop, spiritual undertones, and alt-Electronica with world beats and European folk-both contemporary and centuries old-their string of album masterpieces kicked off in 1984 with a self-titled debut. After disbanding in '99, Perry went solo and Gerrard became a prominent film composer, celebrated for her Golden Globe winning score for Gladiator, among other works. Fusing atmospheric/ambient pop, spiritual undertones, alt-eletronica, world beats, and European folk, their repertoire can never be easily summed up with words.

Hi!
There's a mistake in the url and name of the decoder. Its name is WavPack and the link is: http://www.wavpack.com/
Thanks for this great post!

OK, I"m confused on these.
1) Do I "unwavepack" and then I should have an .iso to mount?
2)or it's an ISO, Mount and then unwavepack.
3) Some other order of steps?
When I wvunpack, I seem to get an unrecognizable file, even after manipulting the extensions.

These are rips of the CD layer not the high quality SACD layer

Thanks Conservationist and all seeders! These sound great!
Now for a little help for those who need it:
These are actually WAV files, not ISO files.
If using a the command line "unpacker", it's much easier to rename the file with a much shorter name and simple file extension ending in [.wv]". I suppose you can skip this part if you want to use wildcards like [*.wv]
Example:

becomes "garden.wv"
Unpack that file with "wavepack", using the -cc option, it will generate a CUE file. Then you can use a cue splitter to split the WAV file into separate tracks.
wvunpack -cc garden.wv
Then edit the cue file that was generated, change the FILE entry to the actual name of the wav file that was unpacked. This also corrects an error where the file it points to ends in [.wv] but needs to be [.wav]. In this instance, the whole line looks like:
FILE = "garden.wav" WAVE
Run your cue splitter and after it's done it's thing you can delete the original WV and WAV files if you like.
