Prayers on Fire by The Birthday Party.
or Rating:
Performer Notes: The Birthday Party: Nick Cave (vocals, saxophone, piano, drums); Rowland S. Howard (vocals, guitar, saxophone); Mick Harvey (guitar, piano, organ, snare drum, background vocals); Tracy Pew (clarinet, acoustic & electric bass); Phillip Jackson (trumpet); Phil Calvert (drums).
Principally recorded at A.A.V. Studio 2, Melbourne, Australia in December 1980 and January 1981.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.
Nick Cave is widely acknowledged as one of our most mature songwriting talents these days, but there was a time when he seemed to be the most unhinged soul in Christendom. The Birthday Party's performances, whether in the studio or on stage, were always compelling, and they left behind no more powerful document than this shattering record. PRAYERS ON FIRE, an intense, disquieting effort, was their first international release after relocating to London from Australia. While the violence of the group's urban rockabilly rumbles underneath, often to no obvious linear structure, Cave's lyrics are informed, acute, but utterly unyielding and savage. Check the no-compromise ferocity of "Nick The Stripper" and "King Ink," still among his best songs.
Professional Reviews: Alternative Press (12/00, p.106) - "...One of the few rock groups to extend the Stooges' hell-raising legacy....[They] remain harrowing listening nearly 20 years after their demise..."
