4.0 out of 5 stars Good Songs from a Good Album, April 3, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: He Wants You / Babe I'm on Fire (Audio CD)

The Album 'Nocturama' wasn't the greatest of Nick Cave's career and needed a couple of listens before it made this Nick Cave fan not want to hurt someone. Once I got used to it, it was great, especially the fifteen minute 'Babe, I'm On Fire' which was cut down terribly for this single. 'He Wants You' remains much the same as the album version, still a nice piano piece.

'Little Ghost Song' is not an earlier version of 'Right Out Of Your Hand' as one reviewer suggested, but rather a mix-up of the music from 'Still In Love' and the vocal tracks of 'Right Out of Your Hand'. That's why it sounds a little disjointed and why the title seems odd. The Nick Cave site says: Of Little Ghost Song, Nick Cave says "[it] was a happy accident in the studio, where the slave reels misaligned and began playing some elements of two songs at the same time. We were dumbstruck at the beauty of it".

Everything Must Converge is a good song, although a bit slow.

All in all, worth the money if you don't own Nocturama and even if you do.

"He Wants You" and "Babe I'm on Fire" are edited versions of the album cuts from "Nocturama." The latter is significantly chopped down from its ten-minute length; depending on your taste for the song, that's either a good thing or a bad one. The real reason to buy this single is the b-side material. "Little Ghost Song" is very similar to "Right Out of Your Hand," and is probably an earlier version of that song. Since "Right Out of Your Hand" is my favorite song on "Nocturama," I enjoyed hearing this version. "Everything Must Converge" is excellent, and in my opinion should have been put on the album.
