Your Funeral... My Trial
(MUTE CD STUMM 34, 1986)

You said: “Deeply powerful, gut-wrenching stuff… haunting.” Stephen Garcia, e-mail

Like an damaged film reel flickering between beauty, melancholy and desperation, this is the record that best captures the Bad Seeds’ mid-’80s Berlin period - a time of heroin, a cameo slot in Wim Wenders’ Wings Of Desire and Cave’s novel And The Ass Saw The Angel. The LP’s keystone is a rare thing - a Bad Seeds track with no Cave writing credit. Stranger Than Kindness is by Einsturzende Neubauten man Blixa Bargeld and Cave’s then on-off partner Anita Lane. Bargeld’s marvelously gnomic Teuton-grunt is also there in his vocal on The Carny.

  • I bought it during the OJ Simpson trial era here in the States. The ideal soundtrack.
