Reviews7 (out of 10) - "...Young is crackling like a campfire primed with gelignite. Occasionally, the urge to explode and explore is too great and, pump-organ at the ready, Young tramples all in his path with...a fistful of feedback....Encouraged by Young's...solemn scratchings, Blake's apocalyptic visions set up home in Jarmusch's weirdsville west...", "...Listening to it is an odd sensation. Young has created a rumbling, harrowing noise that makes you want to use the phrase 'distant thunder' without it sounding like a cliche....When Depp reads William Blake's poetry you feel awed and excited....he is both moved and moving...", "A fine example of how resourceful and inventive a musician Young can be, given ample inspiration and room to manoeuvre. DEAD MAN was entirely improvised in real time..."
The music comprises Young soloing to the film interspersed by dialogue from the fil by Johnny Depp. Yes it's weird and for Young completely unique but still challenging yet interesting and occasionally really good. For the completist it's a necessity but it's not a waste of money. Several listens later and you can get a sense of the rhythms of the music. I recommend it for that. n
N.B. No singing involved so don't say you weren't warned!
