- One of Current 93’s most ambitious and enduring projects: ’The Inmost Light’ trilogy. Originally issued in 1995 as ’Hallucinatory Patripassianist Song’ the band at the time of these recordings included David Tibet Steven Stapleton Michael Cashmore and Joolie Wood with guests Nick Cave Jhonn Balance (Coil) Andria Degens (Pantaleimon) and Shirley Collins contributing vocals. This series was inspired by visionary painter Louis Wain and author Thomas Ligotti (to whom a track is dedicated) nursery sing-songs and Christian heresies most notably Patripassianism. In Current 93’s hands the traditional lullaby of the album title sparks an explosive torrent of bittersweet childhood memories and apocalyptic prophecies. The musical setting for Tibet’s narrative is exquisite -- kaleidoscopic compositions featuring 12-string guitar piano string arrangements flutes bells massed drones children’s voices and ecstatic recitations.
