Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds: The Videos

About This Movie

So, this one’s a fascinating look at Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds from '84 to '97, all wrapped up in their music videos. The vibe is raw and intense, which is fitting given the band’s notorious reluctance to engage with the medium. You get to hear their commentary, which is quite revealing, as they often express their discomfort with the whole video-making process. The tracks included are pretty stellar, like 'Stagger Lee' and 'Where The Wild Roses Grow.' The pacing is interesting too, oscillating between the polished visuals and the band’s somewhat sardonic take on them. It's a unique snapshot of their era, capturing both the music and the band’s often complicated relationship with the visuals that accompanied it.

This release is a bit of a rarity, as it's not every day you find such a comprehensive collection of Nick Cave's music videos. Over the years, it has garnered interest among collectors, especially those keen on the intersection of music and visual art. Pay attention to format variations, as earlier editions may offer different cover art or bonus features, which could affect scarcity and value in the long run.
