    But if I did I would summon them together
    And ask them to watch over you"

    oh ok. I picked up "no more shall we part" and "Abatoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus" today.

    i'm on my first spin of "no more shall we part". It's beautiful so far....

    I heard Abatoir Blues was his best record.....

    How about "Oh My Lord" off of No More Shall We Part? Fucking incredible.

    I really dig the violin on the whole album.

    Haven't heard Abatoir Blues or Boatman's Call, need to pick them up.

    Thank you for the insights!!!!!!

    Yeah, I've been playing that on guitar today, such a great song! I've been playing As I Sat Sadly By Her Side a lot too.

    I was listening to him with my friend driving back from school yesterday...

    started him off with that Stagger Lee video I ripped from youtube :D

    Then I went into "Red Right Hand"..

    After hearing the first refrain he sits up and goes.. "I KNOW THIS..... wasn't this on dumb and dumber? I love this song" :p:D
    Come on pilgrim you know he loves you..

    abattoir blues/the lyre of orpheus might be my favorite nick cave yet.

    Abattoir Blues is rocking as hell. It's like some sort of twisted gospel record. Sounds almost Tom Waits-ish at times.

    TLOO is beautiful. It's more mellow, but it's still great. "Breathless" may be the greatest pop song I've heard in years, and "Babe, You Turn Me On" is stunning.

    not a bad starting point by any means.

    I'm also really into "No More Shall We Part" at the moment. it's darker, but still amazing.

    I was listening to Abattoir Blues today, it is too good! I'd say my favorite track off that one is Nature Boy... for the moment.

    My fave off of TLOO is O Children... what a haunting song. The title track is a close second.
