Cave plays elegiac piano and dispensed with his singing beneficial for theatrics, saves with pathos and goes not in pitch areas where he does not feel comfortable.
The opener "Into My Arms" indicates the direction. only bass accompaniment this wonderful then flowing song is recited. not quite as ohrwurmig it goes on, I am suggesting not mean that the songs are weaker, "There is a kingdom", "black hair", "Idiot Prayer" or "green eyes" - a lot of little masterpieces, sparingly arranged, but atmospherically dense and producing goosebumps.
without the complete works of cave to know really well, I do think that this disc here - at least with respect to the quality of songwriting - one of the highlights of the work of this man and it is not surprising that the reviews of Cave's latest publication Hiezu most comparisons at the expense of efforts freshman.
the remaster also sounds excellent. the piano is bulky and of the correct size in the room the voice settles credible and the accompanying sounds are barren with respectful distance at defined places, the audience is getting close to happen on, which increases the existing goosebumps addition. very nice!
beligende the DVD contains the CD tracks again as well higher-resolution audio files.
but this I can not comment on my DVD player depends only a telly with modest sound quality.
and two music videos, the former a darkly painted in black and white armbands to "Into My Arms", the latter more one on one art theater stage as a live performance in scene put "Are you the one That I've been waiting for," said one mr. cave several times looks deep into my eyes ...
