Current 93 - The Inmost Light - 3CD

3 Cd

Durtro Jnana are proud to announce the release of one of Current 93's most ambitious and enduring projects: The Inmost Light trilogy.

Originally issued in 1995/1996, this set, which originally announced itself as being 'Hallucinatory Patripassianist Song' reissues in their entirety the mini-albums Where The Long Shadows Fall and The Stars Are Marching Sadly Home, as well as the full length All The Pretty Little Horses. Current 93 became David Tibet, Steven Stapleton, Michael Cashmore and Joolie Wood for this album.

Guest vocalists included Nick Cave, Jhonn Balance of Coil, Andria Degens of Pantaleimon and Shirley Collins.

This series was inspired by such visionaries as painter Louis Wain and author Thomas Ligotti (to whom a track was dedicated), nursery singsongs and Christian heresies (most notably Patripassianism, otherwise known as Trinitarian heresy). In Current 93's hands, the traditional lullaby that lends the album its title, sparks an explosive torrent of bittersweet childhood memories and apocalyptic prophecies.

The musical setting for Tibet's narrative is exquisite, kaleidoscopic music composed with twelve-string guitar, piano, string arrangements, flutes, bells, massed drones, children's voices and ecstatic recitations. A powerful and extremely moving listening experience
