4.0 out of 5 stars Musical counterpart to "The Wicker Man", October 21, 2006

This review is from: Judas As Black Moth (Audio CD)

This 32 track 2-Disc collection provides a surprisingly cohesive overview of David Tibet's Current 93. Emphasizing Tibet's haunting, almost liturgical British gothic folk over his early industrial noise experiments, Black As Judas Moth includes tracks from rare and out of print releases including seven songs from All The Pretty Little Horses from 1996, 4 selections from Soft Black Stars, two cuts from Thunder Perfect Mind & the mini album, Earth Covers Earth (1990), and more. Think of the movie "The Wicker Man" and you'll have some idea of the general mood here. Includes guest vocalists Nick Cave & Shirley Collins featured on "All The Pretty Little Horses." Compiled & remastered by David Tibet. Lack of performer credits in the booklet is the only shortcoming.

Focusing on some of the best work of David Tibet, Steven Stapleton, Michael Cashmore, and friends, this collection gives the listener an opportunity to dive head first into the haunted and beautiful world of Current 93. This is a great purchase for seasoned fans, beginners, and the curious alike.

This review is from: Judas As Black Moth: Best of (Audio CD)

It's amazing that this collection covers so much ground and spans many years- but never sounds anything less than cohesive and structured... not at all a "best of" collection... Current 93 is sort of beyond notions like that.
The beauty is that none of this music sounds dated... it's actually all quite timeless (a sign of true musical art).
The themes of several albums interweave each other here- spaced out across both discs- and all of it works perfectly together!
If you are new to Current 93- this is a great place to start. If you have loved them for years, than this is a wonderful way to relive some musical memories. Highly recommended!
