Prayers on Fire. Liberation Music, Beggars от лица компании Liberation Music BMI - Broadcast Music Inc. ARESA, Wise Music Group, UMPG Publishing и другие авторские общества 3. и другие авторские общества 4. Prayers on Fire is the debut studio album by Australian rock group The Birthday Party, which was released on 6 April 1981 on the Missing Link label in Australia, later licensed to the 4AD label. This was the band's first full-length release on an international record label and the first after changing the group's name from Boys Next Door to The Birthday Party. It was recorded at Armstrong's Audio Visual Studios in Melbourne and Richmond Recorders in the nearby suburb of Richmond, between December 1980. Album 1981 13 Songs. More by The Birthday Party. Hee Haw. Live 1981-82. Featured On. College Rock Deep Cuts. It should come as no surprise that there is an album in Nick Cave's oeuvre called Prayers on Fire a fascination with the dark, self-destructive side of religion is more than evident in his later work with the Bad Seeds. While there might not be any of the explicit Biblical imagery on Prayers on Fire that Cave would later ejaculate, the title of the album is apt, and its aptness is revealed almost immediately. Songs in album The Birthday Party - Prayers On Fire 1981. The Birthday Party - Zoo-music Girl. The Birthday Party - Cry. The Birthday Party - Capers. The Birthday Party - Nick The Stripper. The Birthday Party - Ho-ho. The Birthday Party - Figure Of Fun. The Birthday Party - King Ink. Кстати, до выхода Prayers On Fire группа имела название The Boys Next door и успела за это время выпустить 2 альбома, тоже неплохих и заслуживающих внимания. Prayers On Fire is the first LP by The Birthday Party and to this day it remains one of the most disturbing pieces of music ever made. Beginning with tribal drumming and chanting, complete with a menacing bass-line on the opener Zoo-Music Girl and all the way to the sickeningly distorted parody of a blues song Kathys Kisses , the album works like a ride to a morbid party in Hell, happening in a deranged maniacs mind. The word sick is probably the best adjective to describe any track on this record this sickness is present on every song, taking over the listener in the process.
