Description
Following the break up of Nick Caveââ¬â¢s former group The Birthday Party, Cave and drummer/multi-instrumentalist Mick Harvey put together a new band featuring Einsturzende Neubauten guitarist Blixa Bargeld, additional guitarist Hugo Race, and ex-Magazine bass player Barry Adamson. The band entered the studio on September 20th 1983, and after some sessions, emerged as Nick Cave & The Cavemen, playing their first gig in Melbourne on New Yearââ¬â¢s Eve 1983. The name was short-lived, and was soon amended to Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, in reference to the final Birthday Party release, ââ¬ËœThe Bad Seedââ¬â¢ EP.
Most of ââ¬ËœFrom Her To Eternityââ¬â¢ was recorded in London, with sessions split between The Garden studio in Shoreditch, and Trident, in Soho.
Cave later said, “Well, I guess we weren’t kicking people in the teeth anymore. I mean, it just became different. I wanted it to be more lyrically orientated and getting Blixa Bargeld in the group made an incredible difference. He’s a completely kind of atmospheric guitarist and incredibly economical and it gave me room to breatheââ¬Â.
The album, produced by Mick Harvey and Flood, was released on 18th June 1984 on Mute Records, Caveââ¬â¢s label for more than the next 25 years. It received great reviews upon its release and is recognised as one of the most timeless albums of the ââ¬Ëœ80s.
