THE FIRSTBORN IS DEAD finds Cave perfecting the punk-blues world he began exploring on FROM HER TO ETERNITY. Combining manic, roots-influenced raving with decadent Brechtian artsong, Cave comes off like the Australian Jeffrey Lee Pierce. Obsessed with the dark edges of Americana, he tackles the Presley myth (also referenced by the album"s title) on "Tupelo," delivers an ode to "Blind Lemon Jefferson" and gleefully dismembers Dylan"s outlaw ballad "Wanted Man." On the artier side, the cabaretish "The Moon is in the Gutter" displays the lyrical agility that would soon become a Cave trademark.This reissue is part of a series that will see the Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds" entire album catalog digitally remastered and remixed in 5.1 surround sound. Each deluxe double-disc collector"s edition contains the remastered stereo album, the new surround mix, a specially commissioned short film made by acclaimed UK artists Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard plus the b-sides from the singles and exclusive sleeve notes.Released April 7th 2009.
