3.0 out of 5 stars
Cave and Shadows approaches Cave from a new angle., April 17, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Cave & shadows
Joaquin's "Cave and Shadows" is an excellent compliment to Ian Johnston's "Bad Seed" and "The Life and Music of Nick Cave" by Maximillian Dax. Like those other two books, Cave and Shadows traces Cave from his beginnings as an unruly child through his stint with The Boys Next Door and The Birthday Party right on through to his career as the Baddest Seed. This book, while not as interesting to me as "Bad Seed", narrows its focus in an interesting way: it closely examines Cave's darker tendencies and musical themes, as well as chronicling his tastes in "darker" art--both his own and the works of others. If you're a Nick Cave junkie like I am, you will want this book as part of your collection. I only give it three stars because it wasn't as long as I wished and because it didn't say a little more about Bargeld and Harvey.
