Album Description

A powerful western drama set in the savage Eden of 1880s Australia, The Proposition is an elemental story of family conflict and primal violence, destructive love and divided loyalties. Featuring an international superstar cast including Guy Pearce, Ray Winstone, Emily Watson and Danny Huston, it is directed by John Hillcoat from a specially commissioned script by the globally acclaimed singer-songwriter Nick Cave. Cave has also composed the film's soundtrack in conjunction with Warren Ellis, his longtime Bad Seeds collaborator and multi-instrumentalist frontman of The Dirty Three. Incorporating soft chamber pieces, ghostly moodscapes and whispered laments, these 16 tracks are as starkly beautiful as the landscape of the film. Story and music are closely intertwined. EMI. 2005.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Ghostly and Hypnotic Soundtrack.......2006-02-02

First, this isn't going to be to every Nick Cave fan's taste, but it should be. I haven't seen the movie, but the cover photo of the CD and the ghostly hypnotic soundtrack give you a good idea of how its gonna be.
With the Proposition soundtrack, Nick Cave and longtime sidekick Warren Ellis show yet again how full of talent both of them are. Though its not for everyday listening, this striking work deserves a place on every serious music lovers CD rack.
An elderly woman for whom I played the CD said parts reminded her of Phantom of the Opera. Not having seen that, I can't agree or disagree, but that comment gives some a point of reference.
Cave's music becomes increasingly complex and diverse as his career progresses. Don't miss this!

5 out of 5 stars absolute soundtrack.......2005-10-07

I've seen the film, visited the set, visited that part of Outback Queensland many times and the soundtrack is integral to the film - as it should be - obviously!
