2004: a busy year for Current 93…

January 28, 2004 by

A new live release by Current 93:

  • Current 93 live at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, South Bank, London, 9 October 2003.

    A recording of Current 93’s show at London’s prestigious South Bank Centre, where they joint headlined with Cosey Fanni Tutti and Chris Carter (performing as Carter-Tutti).

    The CD comes in a beautiful gatefold full colour digipak with full colour print on CD. The CD has 16 tracks and is 67 minutes long and features the entire concert that Current 93 played that night. It includes three previously unreleased tracks as well as ‘Locust’ from the ‘Imperium’ album, which has never before been performed live.

    Tracklisting: Halo; Alone; Mary Waits in Silence; Calling for Vanished Faces II; The Signs in the Stars; All This World Makes Great Blood; Good Morning, Great Moloch; Whilst the Night Rejoices Profound and Still; 5 Hypnagogue 5; A Silence Song; Sleep Has His House; 4 Hypnagogue 4; Fields of Rape; So: This Empire is Nothing; The Death of the Corn; Locust.

    It promises to be a very expensive year for Current 93 fans, so you’d better start saving some money…
