The Black Rider (Audio CD)

Customer Review

Tom starts his third creative decade in 1990 at the Thalia Theater in Hamburg. Robert Wilson adapted here Freischütz fabric, William Burroughs, the grand old man of American Beatnikbewegung contributes ambiguous-dunke texts about drug abuse and its consequences - and Tom, the devil makes to the music. The world is changing - and the black rider makes night at the crossroads in the forest shiny shops.

"The Black Rider" was not published until 1993 plate. Maybe it had to do was initially the success of "Bone Machine", thus Iceland Records summed up the courage to let these songs on humanity going on. This is "The Black Rider" Last to Toms publication on his second label, although its contents a good two years older than the previous record. For this reason I have decided to make "The Black Rider" to the early 1990s. "Bone Machine" from 1992 is a further development of the chosen path here and therefore belongs in the row further back.

"You know my number - 3927704 - call any time". On "I'll shoot the moon" urges us on to Tom, but to call time. Who could resist that - even when lifting the handset on the other side of the Horned. Because no one else is here in the "Lucky Day Overture" in "Harry's Harbour Bizarre" shows us his freaks who in "The Black Rider" attracts and "Just the Right Bullets" the dealer mimes.
The whole album is a monstrosity. It is coated theatrical wildly up into its smallest angle into it. Here can be found with "Gospel Train" and "Oily night" Toms brutal songs. Greg Cohen is the last time one of the party, leaving some such wrong-humped Instrumentals that you can stand by in amazement with my mouth open. In "November" howls the musical saw as never before, in "Russian Dance" stomp people in heavy boots the beat and Tom is one Russian to the clock a. Zugpfeifen howl real crows cawing above the Himmmel the songs in "Flash Pan Hunter" Tom howls like a beaten and hungry dog ​​that is convulsing your heart together. "Crossroads" is for me the highlight of the musical plate, a dark, evil, lurking song Ominous and tragic. And "That's the way" you have to have heard the old brittle voice of William Burroughs the presentation of a bottomless-sad, world lost poem, backed by Toms melancholic whimpering theater music.

With "The Black Rider" we are indeed at a crossroads. Some old fans going the direction that Tom and his way to the theater embarks musically here, too far. There are those who believe in retrospect, with its Kolaboration with Robert Wilson he had wrong track, the whole thing was a mistake on the one better cover the cloak of silence. Too extreme, too artificial.
I do not like as set. I can only say one thing: "The Black Rider" has me still can pull every time in his sinister spell. This plate is a acoustical snuff film, it is Tom's version of Death Metal. Or to even quote him from live predecessor "Big Time": "Not for everyone Whose, who love action maybe.."
