NICK CAVE &THE BAD SEEDS Tender Prey MUTE LP RARE ORIG 1988 US 7 75401-1/STUMM52
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds: Nick Cave (vocals, harmonica, piano, Hammond organ, vibraphone, tambourine); Mick Harvey (acoustic & electric guitar, piano, organ, xylophone, bass, drums, percussion, programming, background vocals); Blixa Bargeld (guitar, slide guitar, background vocals); Roland Wolf (guitar, piano, organ); Kid Bongo Powers (guitar, background vocals); Thomas Wydler (drums).Additional personnel: Hugo Race (guitar, background vocals); Gini Ball, Audrey Riley, Chris Tombling (strings); Ian Davis (background vocals).Engineers: Tony Cohen, Flood, Chris Thompson.Recorded at Hansa Tonstudios and Vieklang, Berlin, Germany; Trident and The Strongroom, London, England; The Studio, Richmond, Australia between August 1987 and January 1988.The dark, poetic troubadour tendencies hinted at in Cave's work as early as his first album's cover of Leonard Cohen's "Avalance" blossom on TENDER PREY. In a style recalling Cohen and Tom Waits, Cave ups the lyrical ante considerably here. On gory detail-oriented, literate tunes like "Up Jumped the Devil" and "Mercy," Cave's second life as a novelist (he would soon author a book) is obvious. Here, the distance he achieves from his inner demons allows him to focus more on crafting his personal horror stories, making him seem like the Edgar Allen Poe of the rock world.The balladic approach introduced on the covers album KICKING AGAINST THE PRICKS also develops here, on melodic, piano-based songs like "Slowly Goes the Night" and "Watching Alice." On these, Cave recalls an earlier, similarly iconoclastic balladeer, Scott Walker. TENDER PREY proved a turning point for Cave, and it's one of his strongest albums.
