Nick Cave, Warren Ellis
Nick Cave, Warren Ellis, Soundtrack for The Proposition,
LP, Mute
You might have heard of the movie The Proposition which has
been getting mentions in the arty press. It seems to be about
bleak people in a bleak land doing bleak things, but don't
take my word for it.
So, you'd expect -- well, I'm not sure what you'd expect but
what you get in the beginning is cello, synth,
and violin lines that run on like a hot dry day. That's sort of what
I expected but there is art here, and a good deal of craft as well.
This is the sort of thing that NC does very well, and has had a good
deal of practise at, not to mention Warren Ellis, but I'm not sure
what his exact input has been.
Atmospheric; a little stifling; lots of slow shadows.
(Eguuneena)
