A true British powerhouse - there is little that has come out in the past 40 years that hasn't been released - or at least - influenced by artists on this fantastic label. At the forefront of post-punk and electronic music having given breaks to <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/depeche-mode">Depeche Mode</a>, <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/a-certain-ratio">A Certain Ratio</a>, <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/throbbing-gristle">Throbbing Gristle</a>, <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/goldfrapp">Goldfrapp</a>, <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/moby">Moby</a> ... the list goes on.

The label was launched in 1978 from Daniel Miller's bedroom, in order to release the 7" from The Normal (T.V.O.D. / Warm Leatherette), recorded by Miller himself on a KORG 700S keyboard and a TEAC four-track recorder. He went on to sign Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft (D.A.F.), Fad Gadget, Throbbing Gristle and Depeche Mode in quick succession.

But Mute have never been ones for looking back. This is about looking forward, this is not an anniversary, but an anti-versary. New albums from Du Blonde, Lost Under Heaven and Liars are on their way, but in the meantime, Rough Trade and Mute have been working closely together to re-release the records nearest and dearest to the label's heart.

Nick Cave's talent and creativity have earned him a well-deserved place among the most influential artists of our time.

Launched his solo career in style with From Her to Eternity, an accomplished album mixing the frenzy and power of his Birthday Party days with a dank, moody atmosphere that showed he was not interested in simply continuing what the older group had done. To be sure, Mick Harvey joined him from the Party days, as ever playing a variety of instruments, while one-time Party guest Blixa Bargeld now became a permanent Cave partner, splitting his time between the Bad Seeds and Einsturzende Neubaten ever since. The group took wing with a harrowing version of Leonard Cohen's "Avalanche," Cave's wracked, buried tones suiting the Canadian legend's words perfectly, and never looked back. From Her to Eternity is crammed with any number of doom-laden songs, with Cave the understandable center of attention, his commanding vocals turning the blues and rural music into theatrical exhibitionism unmatched since Jim Morrison stalked stages. Songs like "Cabin Fever," with its steadily paced drumming and relentless piano line, and the more restrained and moody "The Moon Is in the Gutter" sound like cabarets in hell. "In the Ghetto," already perfectly suited to such a treatment, shows the underlying sense of beauty that defines the Seeds as much as drama. Even though it's a Presley cover, the sense of Scott Walker's influence isn't far away at all. The title track is and remains a Bad Seeds classic, played at shows up through the present, a tense piano/organ beginning then accompanied by the edgy build of the band, pounding drums, stabbing feedback and keyboard parts and more
