CURRENT 93 (VIDEO REVIEW)
SINCE YESTERDAY: A PEAK INTO THE PIT: CURRENT 93
DURTRO 029V VIDEO
AVAILABLE FROM WORLD SERPENT (see below)
THIS is the first official video from Current 93 and will no
doubt find its way onto the shelves of all David Tibet fans everywhere.
Up to now we have just had to make do with and suffer the joys of various
bootlegs of dubious sound and vision.
The video consists of 22 minutes of live clips from concerts in London
and Tokyo as well as more surreal additions relying heavily on Catholic
iconography and The Wicker Man. Of particular interest is the footage
shot in Japan and the only disappointment is that more footage from this
concert was not made available.
A video release from the World Serpent stable has been long overdue
and let's hope it will not be too long before fellow playmates Death
In June and Sol Invictus
add their contributions.
Noteworthy is the cover of the video which seems to imply a change of
direction away from Noddy and into the Cat World of Louis Wain. Alas,
poor Noddy, we knew him well!
