@ bob. No, I haven't read it. There are two live songs in my version of Nature Unveiled called Maldoror Rising and Maldoror Falling. As I understand they have many occurring themes through different albums and many different versions of some of their music pieces. That's why I never know what to check next. 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?

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

Listened to Beauty Reaps the Blood of Solitude by Nature and Organisation (some side project that David is in) and it's quite good. The songs which feature his voice are spine-chilling.

So, David Tibet, aside from releasing about two albums a year with Current 93 for decades, also has side projects. Must be difficult for fans to keep up with him. This Nature and Organisation sounds familiar, but I don't think I've heard it.

Well to be fair, it's a side-project of somebody else that he's featured on extensively. It's also meant to be in the vein of his Current 93 sound. I'm pretty sure he has his own side projects to his name though.

Nature and Organisation is Michael Cashmore and was more or less really him and Rose McDowall....at least in the beginning....he is now recording really stripped down tradition "British" folk music...really pretty stuff
he played on most of the "popular" Current 93 releases...like Swastikas, Tunder Perfect Mind, As The World Disappears it's seriously hard to keep up with this ever changing group of musicians.... i'm not 100% sure but almost sure that David is only a "member" of Current 93 and the only actual member of Current 93 is David |

there is an amazing book called England's Hidden Reverse
Amazon.com: England's Hidden Reverse: A Secret History of the Esoteric Underground (9780946719679): David Keenan: Books which literally outlines everybody involved in Coil, Current 93 and Nurse With Wound...while only concentrating on those three bands....ie although Doug P. is mentioned often there is very little reference to his band Death In June anyways if you can find a copy for less than $200....or the publishing company gets off their asses and re-issues it (this was supposed to happen on August 1st)....you all should read it....it really is a wealth of knowledge on the subject....and it comes with a great cd showcasing all three bands |

C93
if ya wanna hear it all at once then try "The Great in the Small" - it's all the C93 that had been released up 'til that point all stacked on top of each other and is surprisingly listenable. It's probably one of my faves out of that catalog.
I first got 'Nature Unveiled' and 'Live at Bar Maldoror' for (get this) a preppy cheerleader in high school who, aside from looking like a GLEE extra was *really* into Foetus, NWW etc... I had those for a couple years but at the time was all about SoCal "LOUD FAST RULES!!!" punk... then the mushrooms kicked in and wow.... I was floored. Not a big fan of neo-fascistic-apocalypse-folk crap but the Thirwell mix of 'Black Ships' rocks the dance floor harder than the newest LCD Soundsystem IMHO. p.s. - here's a really ****ty version of us covering PTV's The Orchids and C93's Fields of Rape if you have an extra 5 minutes. just add the http before the link - sorry - i haven't done 15 posts yet...grrrr... ://snd.sc/aWdhh4 Last edited by robot29; 11-17-2010 at 03:29 PM. |
