I guess I just lump Tibet in with the HNAS / NWW / Coil / etc gothfolkdeath crowd, who, aside from Monte Cazzaza and select Throbbing Gristle, have always left me cold

I guess putting NWW in that category is kinda unfair. I have a few Nurse With Wound albums but never listen to them. It's one of those bands I know I should like, but just don't.
I dig some Coil stuff quite a bit though

I once had a small chat with Tibet going to Liverpool st. on the BR train (he lives in Walthamstow). Very nice guy. He sent me 'Cold Black Stars', that had just come out, two days later.

That is the difficulty with Current 93. An average band has one or two albums that are considered to be the best, by both fans and music journalists. With Current 93, that is not the case. Therefore it's hard to point out the ideal starting point for those interested.

current 93 lost it for me after swastikas. nature unveiled is a good one (first thing by them i heard) and seek out nightmare culture which has current 93 / coil / boyd rice and steve ignorant at his vocal best

most probably the most sad and despressing music ever committed to tape...

I don't believe what he does is a schtick, it's carried off with a conviction. Maybe this is what goth actually is like.

Wow, I'm starting to love the bits of this I've downloaded. It's on my "to buy" list.

This is a difficulty? Isn't that the usual hallmark of genius?

The Keenan book is quite good: that scene was filled with great music and such a mix of disturbing and unbelievably silly characters. Some anecdotes walk the fine line between horror and slapstick comedy.I think C93 covered also _Tam Lin_, can't remember the album though.

So he likes good music and he's liked it for a long time, what does that prove exactly? Other than the fact that he's obviously a lot older than most of us?
