Nocturama (album)

Nocturama is the twelfth studio album by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, released on February 3, 2003 on Mute and ANTI-.

Produced by Nick Launay, the album is the last to feature founding member Blixa Bargeld who departed the band shortly after the album's release.

Nocturama was recorded in one week during an Australian tour in March 2002, and reunited Nick Cave and guitarist Mick Harvey with producer Nick Launay, who had worked with their previous band The Birthday Party twenty-one years earlier.

Mick Harvey introduces me and Blixa goes, 'Oh, ja, the engineer.'

From an engineering point of view, it's just fucking mental – like recording a live gig but you're capturing this thing for ever.
