Experience the raw, malevolent beauty of Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds’ 1988 masterpiece, Tender Prey. This deluxe reissue and remastered edition presents the album in a definitive format, featuring a CD and a multichannel DVD-Video (NTSC, All Media) to capture every guttural nuance of the original recordings.
Widely regarded as one of Cave's most creatively fertile periods, Tender Prey was produced by Flood and showcases a band at the height of their "stubbornly virile" powers. The album famously opens with "The Mercy Seat," a terrifying seven-minute epic detailing a man’s final moments in the electric chair. Laced with religious imagery and Catholic guilt, the track remains one of the most significant works in Nick Cave’s career.
Spanning ten tracks, the album redefines the band as masters of several distinct styles, including:
- Garage Punk: Distilled into piercing guitars and heavy drum samples.
- Gothic Country: Deeply atmospheric and steeped in biblical narratives.
- Ragged Blues: Infused with a menacing, "sexy" energy and dark bombast.
This reissue offers a comprehensive listening and viewing experience. The included DVD provides multichannel audio, allowing fans to immerse themselves in the "heart-pounding" soundscapes of the remastered tracks with the high-resolution fidelity of Dolby Digital surround sound.
