Music reviews of Closed on Account of Rabies: Poems and Tales of Edgar Allan Poe
Music Review: If you find a copy of this grab it up quick!
Rating: 5 Stars
I LOVE this album. I was actually working at a record store when it came out and snatched it up quick. Then several years later, after it had apparently gone out of print, I loaned it to someone and have never seen it since. Dr. John reading Beranice, Iggy Pop reading tell tale heart are some of the high points but my absolute favorite was Gavin Friday reading For Annie... definitely some haunting, beautiful moments on here. Only downside is that some of the "song versions" dont work all that well... still definitely worth getting!
Description of Closed on Account of Rabies: Poems and Tales of Edgar Allan Poe
One of the true marks of a horror artist is to create something that is at once completely terrifying and utterly fascinating. It's not about blood, guts, and gore, as anyone who's ever seen Psycho could tell you, but about suspense, story, and the characters themselves. Edgar Allan Poe's stories rank as some of the greatest horror ever written--and that's before the likes of Iggy Pop, Diamanda Gal?s, Abel Ferrara, and Christopher Walken (chilling, as he reads from "The Raven") got their hands--er, voices--on Poe's words. This two-disc compilation is a success if only for treating Poe's texts in the right manner, with subtle backing music and sounds and restrained, ominous performances from the readers (other fine readings come from Ken Nordine, Dr. John, and Jeff Buckley). One reason for the album's quality may be producer Hal Willner; if you enjoy this, you might also want to check out his work on Weird Nightmare: Meditations on Mingus, The Carl Stalling Project, Vol. 1, and Spare Ass Annie. --Randy SilverGeneral CDs
