Альбом содержит песни, написанные для пьесы Alice, основанной на запретной любви между Льюисо Кэрроллом и Алисой Лидделл, для которого он написал историю о приключениях Алисы в Стране чудес (По некоторым данным, мистер Доджсон обращался к родителям Алисы с просьбой позволить ему просить ее руки, когда она повзрослеет. Однако точных данных об этом нет. Вполне возможно, что это часть «мифа Льюиса Кэрролла и Алисы», возникшего позднее.) . Это продолжение совместной работы Вейтса с Робертом Уилсоном, с которым он уже работал над пьесой The Black Rider. Впервые пьеса была поставлена в Thalia Theatre в Гамбурге в 1992 году и с тех пор ставилась на многих площадках по всему миру. Альбом был выпущен совместно с альбомом Blood Money, содержащим песни Вейтса к адаптированной Робертом Уилсоном пьесе Woyzeck Георга Бюхнера.

The grizzled modern persona of Tom Waits finds new life on Alice, a slow, grave record that explores physical and moral decay with the same harrowing insight of 1992's Bone Machine. Originally written as an opera with his longtime songwriting partner, playwright Kathleen Brennan, the songs on Alice were performed live in a Hamburg theater for 18 months in 1992 and 1993, but were never committed to tape (officially, at least). This studio recording retains a sense of narrative cohesion, giving Waits a set of tormented and bizarre characters that go well with the motley crew he's assembled over the years. It is, in fact, the most consistent record of Waits's career, offering not only a stable train of thought, but a musical approach that, while featuring the same vaudevillian touches that have characterized his work since Swordfishtrombones, finds a voice all its own. Without much percussion to back them up, violins, cellos, and horns dominate the record, bathing Waits's familiar growl in a sly, slow cacophony that sounds like an underwater fugue, the notes like rust on the strings. "Watch Her Disappear," with its sparse, sad pump organ, and the twisted torch song "Reeperbahn" have the smoky cafe mystery of Edith Piaf by way of Leonard Cohen, recovered from the water-logged tapes in Cole Porter's long-lost dingy. It's a burst of dark, world-weary poetry for lonely Saturday nights, cloudy days on the beach, or long strolls through graveyards. --Matthew Cooke
Product Description
Alice has been called Wait's long-lost masterpiece. Originally performed as an opera directed by Robert Wilson for Hamburg's Thalia Theatre in 1992, but left unrecorded until 2001. The show ran for a year and a half using an unusual orchestra designed by Waits to underpin the songs co-written with his wife Kathleen Brennen. Rather than being directly based on Lewis Carroll's Alice In Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass, the Waits-Brennen Alice takes inspiration from feelings remembered and dreams recalled after reading the books. Released simultaneously with Blood Money.

Tom Waits - Alice 2002 (Anti, inc.)

Один из самых душевных и мелодично-сентиментальных
дисков Тома Вэйтса за всю его музыкальную карьеру.
Музыка на "Alice" написана к театральной постановке 1992 года,
повествующей о героине кэрроловских сказок.
Сюда Уэйтс и Кэтлин Бреннан сочинили 15 меланхолических и пугающих сказок
об ушедшей юности, внешне трогательных, внутри же полных неискоренимых
противоречий и неискоренимой же почти вселенских масштабов тоски.

Personnel:

Tom Waits - vocals, violin, piano, pump organ,
chamberlin, Mellotron, glockenspiel
Kathleen Brennan - acoustic guitar, percussion
Joe Gore, Larry Taylor - electric guitar
Myles Boisen - banjo
Carla Kihlstedt - violin
Matthew Brubeck - cello
