Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds was originally formed in late 1983 by two former members of the Australian band The Birthday Party: Nick Cave (vocals, songwriter, keyboards, harmonica) and Mick Harvey (drums, guitar, bass, keyboards, occasional songwriter).

Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Fourth album from Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds, and one which saw them reinforcing their reputation as one of the world's most intriguing bands: this is a dark, caustic collection of bluesy stories and laments. Features the songs "The Carny", "Scum" and "Stranger Than Kindness".

BBC Review

Was there ever a bleaker title than Your Funeral! My Trial? Even by Nick Cave's dark-hearted standards, it's a weighty moniker to millstone a collection with.

Recorded quickly in Berlin's Hansa Studios - the same studio that birthed David Bowie's masterpiece, 'Heroes' - across two summer months of 1986, it is every bit as dark and desolate as that title suggests.

Yet it is also one of Nick Cave's most accessible and varied works. Released hot on the heels of the difficult yet deadly covers album Kicking Against The Pricks - a mere three months separates them - it is filled with the sultry and salacious, the sanguine and staggering.

Indeed, it's an introduction to every voice, from murder balladeer to furious bluesman, that the maturing and increasingly marvellous songsmith would use beyond it.

Top billing goes to the thrilling cabaret of The Carny, a song so ocular, it is hard to listen to it without swirling off into rain-streaked monochrome visions of the gnarled troop huddled against the weather.

Alongside it rages a charming myriad of subtle tumult. There's the aching thrill of Sad Waters, the taut dramatic hopelessness of the title track, the electrifying chaos of Jack's Shadow, the dirty roar of Hard On For Love - and then there's Stranger Than Kindness.

Built around a skin-shivering guitar coil, Stranger Than Kindness is the opening salvo of one of Cave's greatest talents - the twisted love song. At once both beautiful and startling, it is a song that sounds like a held breath, never letting slip the power that swells within it.

Your Funeral! My Trial is a lesson in delicious restraint and revelation, a showcase of just what grandeur can be achieved by a speedy yet dedicated work ethic, and as fine an opus as Cave has ever produced. --Chris Long

I notice a click 6 July 2009
Format:Audio CD
Could be my copy, but there's a click / pop at 3.09 in the second track The Carny. And the extra track Scum could have been in the audio cd as well.
