I liked Current 93 from the moment I first heard them (I think it was All the Pretty Little Horses some time after it came out) mainly for the atmosphere and music, but I've never went too deeply into their themes. They are quite esoteric, aren't they? I think I'm gonna explore that now more after hearing Nature Unveiled.
And bob., I wanted to ask you...Is that a Current 93 Crucifixion symbol on your avatar? I think I've seen it in some of their photos.
EDIT: "Inmost Light Trilogy"...Is 'All the Pretty Little Horses' a part of it?

the Maldoror books had a lot of influence on both early Current 93 and Nurse With Wound.....and when you read i'm sure you'll see why....yeah the early stuff is so insane and unlike anything out of the noise scene...theres a video creepy around on youtube of one of his first performances where its David Tibet and Steve Ignorant (crass) just bellowing like tripped out Tibetan monks and playing with tape delays....amazing footage...i'll look for it
yeah the crucifix/thelemic symbol was i think the original insert to 'Dogs Blood Rising'...i feel like one of the few things the David Tibet has kept consistent in his music and "philosophy" is the concept of duality...this really comes out on the songs from "Thunder Perfect Mind" and "Horsey"....where he seems to almost rant about the people around him and their blood and soil worship and Crowley worship but that they ignore the other sides of things
"All The Pretty Little Horses" is the second album in the trilogy....the first is "Where The Long Shadows Fall" and the third is "The Starres Are Marching Sadly Home"...."Horses" is the only "conventional of the three the other two are one track ambient explorations.....
edit
the sound quality is not so great but the footage is amazing
*edit2
having just re-watched this....i think i would give up my first born to be able to go back in time and see this in person
