Nick Cave
Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus
Nick Cave formed the Bad Seeds following the end of his previous band Birthday Party. The Bad Seeds brought together former Birthday Party guitarist Mick Harvey (drums), ex-Magazine bassist Barry Adamson, and Einstürzende Neubauten guitarist Blixa Bargeld.
EMI Catalogue are to release the final three instalments in a series of twelve releases that will ultimately see the band’s entire catalogue of studio albums digitally re-mastered and remixed for 5.1 Surround Sound for the first time since their original release. As with the Mute released previous albums, each album will be released as a deluxe double-disc collectors edition. For this release, it will be a 2CD/DVD.
Each deluxe edition contains the re-mastered stereo album, the new surround mix, a specially commissioned short film by UK artists Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard plus the b-sides from the singles, videos and exclusive sleeve notes.
Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus is a beamingly confident, expansive and ground-breaking album - all the more impressive in light of the fact that it follows in the wake of losing a key long-time band member, Blixa Bargeld. Despite being a double disc album of seventeen-song girth, it is one of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds most successful albums, achieving chart success in Australia and throughout Europe, and was certified gold status in the UK in 2006.
