In "Your Funeral… My Trial" you see the erratic progress of Cave and his Seeds: a literate Australian obsessed with the illiterate American Deep South, backed by a motley Peckinpah-ragged band of Euro/Aussie players, peripatetically resident in London, Brazil, and Berlin. Sometimes you may have loved the idea of it all - torch songs on fire; abjection, narcotics, breakdown - as much as, if not more than, the actual recordings: Cave as cultured rock n" role decadent, half Georges Bataille, half Jerry Lee Lewis; or, equal parts Edgar Allan Poe and Elvis Aaron Presley.Cave digs even deeper into his personal obsessions here than on the previous THE FIRSTBORN IS DEAD. While FIRSTBORN"s ominous bluesiness is still represented on the title track and "Long Time Man," the balance of this album sounds decidedly more European. It was here that Cave"s Gothic troubadour persona really began to take shape. He takes the role of the grim storyteller on the album"s strongest track "The Carny" (featured to fine effect in Wim Wenders" film WINGS OF DESIRE, in which Cave also appears as himself) and "Stranger Than Kindness." There"s a gauzy, almost supernatural feel to YOUR FUNERAL, evocative of the classic Hammer horror films--classy and expertly constructed, but undeniably disturbing.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.
