BackgroundThe album was the last produced while Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard were a romantic couple. A majority of the album was recorded in a multi-storey apartment block in the Isle of Dogs, London. Perry discussed the album's title: "In a lot of aerial photographs of the Earth, if you look upon it as a giant organism—a macrocosmos—you can see that the nature of the life force, water, travels in a serpentine way".[1] Track listing{{track listing| headline = Side A | all_writing = Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry | title1 = The Host of Seraphim | length1 = 6:18 | title2 = Orbis de Ignis | length2 = 1:35 | title3 = Severance | length3 = 3:22 | title4 = The Writing on My Father's Hand | length4 = 3:50 | title5 = In the Kingdom of the Blind the One-Eyed Are Kings | length5 = 4:12 }}{{track listing | headline = Side B | title1 = Chant of the Paladin | length1 = 3:48 | title2 = Song of Sophia | length2 = 1:24 | title3 = Echolalia | length3 = 1:17 | title4 = Mother Tongue | length4 = 5:16 | title5 = Ullyses | length5 = 5:09 }} Reception{{Album ratings| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1score = {{Rating|4.5|5}}[2] }} In a retrospective review, AllMusic said, "Perry and Gerrard continued to experiment and improve with The Serpent's Egg, as much a leap forward as Spleen and Ideal was some years previously", heaping particular praise on the album opener "The Host of Seraphim", which it called "so jaw-droppingly good that almost the only reaction is sheer awe".[2] LegacyElectronic music duo The Chemical Brothers used a reversed sample of "Song of Sophia" in "Song to the Siren", from the album Exit Planet Dust.[3]. Rapper G Herbo also sampled "The Host of Seraphim" on his song "4 Minutes of Hell, Part 3" from his debut mixtape,Welcome to Fazoland. In popular culture"The Host of Seraphim" was featured in the 1992 non-narrative documentary film Baraka (and was included in the film's soundtrack), the theatrical trailer for 2006 film Home of the Brave, in the end credits of the 2007 film The Mist[4] and in the 2018 film Lords of Chaos. A short excerpt of "Ullyses" was also used as background music in the BBC Horizon episode #30.7 "Hunt For The Doomsday Asteroid" in February 1994, originally broadcast ahead of the predicted impact of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with the planet Jupiter in July that same year.
