Island LP by Current 93 Some tracks of this album do reappear instrumental in the Icelandic movies Children Of Nature and Cold Fever. Scratchings on the vinyl: 'But Alone Into The Alone Anyway' and 'I Minningu Alls Og All Ra' A sheet of lyrics was (is?) available by mail from BM Wound, the one included with the LP was (of course) without the CD only tracks. The spoken text on 'The Dream Of A Shadow Of Smoke' was taken from Jeremy Taylor's 'The Rule And Exercises Of Holy Dying' (London, 1656) Line-up: David Tibet HÖH Björk Gudmundsdóttir [yes, it's Björk...] Akiko Hada Thór Eldon Godkrist Liz Aster Bogomil Font Asa HlÃn Svavarsdóttir Birgir Baldursson The Venerable 'Chimed Rig'dzin Lama, Rinpoche Johnny Triumph Rose McDowall Joolie Wood Einar Oern Tómas M. Tómasson my g/f have found it. Brave girl! :) |

I believe Bjork sang some background vocals for "Island" (1991) |

"anyone know what Current 93 album would be best to buy first?" "Thunder Perfect Mind" is my favourite of their folk style albums...so I'd get that one first... for reviews: http://longshadows.com/albums.html |

Earth Covers Earth is my favourite of theirs - wierd spooky folk shit, very haunting melodies. Swastikas for Noddy is good too and in a similar vein. The Looney Runes EP is pretty sinister and interesting. Another of my faves. Less acoustic, more synthetic. Thrice as evil. That Island albums well worth a listen as well, although it was about that time that the singer David Tibet started to experiment with Bhuddism and the sinister edge of Current 93 was getting left as a thing of the past (although the tunes are definately good, especially Bjork's one) |

i like the vocalist rose mcdowall on some of coil's albums, what current 93 albums is she on? |

She pretty much appears on most of Current 93's stuff, not too sure about recent releases though, I just prefer the older stuff. My favourite stuff shes on would be the aforementioned Swastikas for Noddy, Earth Covers Earth and also the 'Emblems' double album, a compilation of real gems and rarities. She's also on a 'Nature and Organization' lp ( a kind of C93 side project) where she does a good version of the Sirens Song(?) from the Wicker Man film. |

Björk also sang backing vocals for Megas - "Loftmynd" (icelandic folk/rocksinger)... ..if you Björk freaks want to get everything she's ever done.. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
uh, and two other Megas albums too actually.. |

i got the thunder perfect mind reissue and yes its worth the money. but make sure you like current 93 before buying an album, you should know what your getting into first, all the albums are expensive so, just make sure before purchasing. but then again, if you dont like it, you can get all the money back by selling it. |
