Current 93 - Sing Omega (2014)


This week, after a mere 8 years of waiting, I received David Tibet's lyric book 'Sing Omega'. It looks gorgeous, and you should probably get it. What you won't be able to get, unless like me you pre-ordered it and paid for it all those years ago, is this cardboard bonus CD, throwing together some odds and ends from Current 93's vast discography, some previously released (but hard to find), others never available before. I don't see why you shouldn't be allowed to hear it though, so here you go. No title mentioned anywhere, so I just went with the title of the book it came with. Not to be confused with the 2010 album 'Baalstorm, Sing Omega', of course.
Be warned: it starts with 20 minutes of Tibet talking into a dictaphone about some ideas for a novel, and singing some a cappella stuff. For hardcore Current 93 fans! ;-)
