It was released in August 1984 on record label 4AD. The tracks were later added to Dead Can Dance's self-titled debut album when it was re-released on CD. BackgroundThe cover art is a sketch done by Brendan Perry and represents the themes of the song "The Arcane". As Perry explains: The naked blindfolded figure, representing primal man deprived of perception, stands, within the confines of a garden (the world) containing a fountain and trees laden with fruit. His right arm stretches out – the grasping for knowledge – towards a fruit bearing tree, its trunk encircled by a snake. In the garden wall – the wall between freedom and confinement – are two gateways: the dualistic notion of choice. It is a Blakean universe in which mankind can only redeem itself, can only rid itself of blindness, through the correct interpretation of signs and events that permeate the fabric of nature's laws.[1] Critical reception{{album ratings| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1score = {{rating|4|5}}[2] }}AllMusic retrospectively described the EP as "the clear transition between the group's competent but derivative goth start and something much, much more special."[2] Track listing{{track listing| headline = Side A | all_writing = Dead Can Dance (Lisa Gerrard, Brendan Perry) | title1 = Carnival of Light | length1 = 3:31 | title2 = In Power We Entrust the Love Advocated | length2 = 4:11 }}{{track listing | headline = Side B | title1 = The Arcane | length1 = 3:49 | title2 = Flowers of the Sea | length2 = 3:28 }} References1. ^{{cite web|title=Anywhere Out Of The World: The Unique Vision of Dead Can Dance|author=Martin Aston|url=http://4ad.com/forewords/dcd/|website=4AD}} 2. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/garden-of-the-arcane-delights-mw0000788233 |title=Garden of the Arcane Delights – Dead Can Dance : Songs, Reviews, Credits, Awards : AllMusic |last=Raggett |first=Ned |work=AllMusic |accessdate=3 February 2013}} External links
