Nick Cave's "The Death Of Bunny Munro" Audiobook Features New Score By Him And Warren Ellis!?
Self-professed audiobook fan Nick Cave describes his own audiobook for 'Bunny Munro' as "an extraordinary and psychedelic experience" that includes, among other things, "sounds effects that sound like their physically touching you" and a brand new score by Cave and Warren Ellis. If that wasn't enough, Cave adds that the score was sent to the U.S. for spatialization -- a process he describes as making it sound "like a hallucination or something."

The novel itself, which is being adapted into a mini-series for UK TV by John Hillcoat, centers on a sexually incontinent (his words, not ours) hand-cream salesman who works the south coast of England trying to sleep with as many women as he can and look after his nine year old boy. If you think that synopsis is weird, try listening to Cave read parts of it at the source -- you'll instantly realize why Hillcoat probably didn't even bother with trying for a Hollywood feature film.
