After a long period of non-employment with Tom Waits' music - except in a roundabout way of discovery of Patrick Watson's great 'Close to Paradise' - I came across a music video of "God's Away On Business" again on the Rauhkehlchen - I knew the number , and found out that the piece 'Blood money' is located. I was blown away by the whole plate after the first hearing. Above all, the pieces 'All The World Is Green', which I then also 'The Butterfly and the Diving Bell' discovered in the film, as well as 'Coney Iceland baby' and the stomp their numbers as 'Starving in the belly of a whale', and 'God's Away on business', 'Misery's the river of the world' did to me. Overall, I find the plate very 'voices'; there is no significant outages. For my Tom Waits oeuvre-overview, which is yet very extensive, is 'Blood money' might not be the best record, but definitely worth an entry attempt, because not too bulky, but you can tell immediately where things are headed, if you look at be seduced by the guide Waits / Woyzeck ... the ship is sinking!
