Review

Mojo (2/03, p.86) - "...Craftily switching between bare piano, strings and dirty guitars, Reed hauls music and drama together as a reflection from middle age....A formidable and ambitious endeavour achieved with wit and passion..."
The Wire (1/03, p.60) - "...His songs, interspersed with dramatic dialogues and poetic recitations over hollowly atmospheric effects, are more a phantasmagorical patchwork of Poe and Reed, an act of violent reanimation....THE RAVEN is a rewarding and self-consciously motley fest..."

Album Description

Lou Reed's epic homage to the work of gothic horror writer Edgar Allen Poe is a sprawling 2CD collection of music and poetry, featuring spoken word passages performed by such renowned actors as Willem Dafoe, Steve Buscemi and Amanda Plummer, and contributions from the likes of David Bowie, Laurie Anderson and Ornette Coleman. Dark and sinister, Reed has attempted to replicate the mood of Poe's work in the music.
