5.0 out of 5 stars getting the things right, 21 Jan 2009
By G. Gasparini "ettoregg" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I felt compelled to write a review after reading the previous one, which I think it's completely off the mark.
The previous reviewer gave 3 stars on the basis of Tom Waits' track which is "actually very short and not especially thrilling either".
I am a long time Waits' fan and I think What Keeps Mankind Alive? is an excellent interpretation.
This album is a masterpiece because it's an excellent take on Kurt Weil's songs and for the calibre of the singers (not many albums feature John Zorn, Stan Ridgway, Lou Reed, Marianne Faithfull in the track list).
So I wholeheartedly recommend this album to whoever is interested in great music (notwithstanding the lenght of the tracks...)

3.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy it just for Tom Waits, 17 Jan 2009
By Barmee (Notts, UK) - See all my reviews
I bought this specifically becuase of the rare Tom Waits track. Said track is actually very short and not especially thrilling either. That is not to say it is a rubbish track but at only about 2 mins long it is nothing special either. Kind of like an out-take from the Black Rider CD. However despite this lacklustre comment I have to say that the album as a whole was a revelation. A wonderfully discordant and thrilling ride through new versions of many tracks that I did not realise I already knew. If you are just after the Tom Waits track then don't pay over the top (like I did!) - however this jazz experimental album is still worth seeking out (check out the John Zorn track).
