Richard Metzger over at Dangerous Minds sums up the new Nick Cave Re-Masters. I was so pleased to see The Good Son on the list of new releases from Mute as it’s one of my all time faves. A perfect record filled with brimstone and beauty.
“The Good Son, one of my personal favorites, also unfolds remarkably in the airier surround mix. You can really hear how delicately the piano keys are being struck in The Ship Song and how hard the the xylophone is being pounded in The Weeping Song. The strings sound great and the drums really snap. It’s a great musical experience, nothing more, nothing less. These are albums that were meant to be listened to as complete song cycles and that’s how I consumed them. I highly recommend watching the docs before sinking into the album. Taken this way, it really builds anticipation for the music. The music does not disappoint.”
