Description
Nick Cave, new in Berlin, entered the world of Die Haut in 1982.
The result is a furious album that paves the way for the music that Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds have been making since 1984.
BURNIN' THE ICE has not been available for a long time. Now the record is being reissued on vinyl – and after many years, it closes a gap that drove Cave completists to despair.
No wild god has fallen from the sky yet. Not even Nick Cave, perhaps the best music performer of the present day. Cave has worked hard for his power, his aura, his reputation. An important early milestone on this journey: BURNIN' THE ICE, released in 1983 together with Berlin band Die Haut. An album like a contemporary document. A ticket to the diffuse and adventurous Berlin of the early 80s, right in the middle of Nick Cave's hot period between The Birthday Party and The Bad Seeds.
BURNIN' THE ICE captures the moment when Nick Cave and Die Haut first developed the music that would later make him seem larger than life. The sound on this record is existential and experimental.
Interested in ecstasy and excess. Relentless and uncompromising.
