***Soft Black Stars, Current 93's most haunting, personal and enduring album, was originally released on Durtro in 1998. It was recorded live in a small cottage in Ireland with David Tibet on vocals, Maja Elliott on piano, and Petr Vastl on ghost violin; Michael Cashmore and Steven Stapleton (Nurse With Wound) were also present, and it was mixed in Germany by Christoph Heemann. This new expanded reissue-- in a six-panel full-color digipak-- contains the entire album as originally released on CD, as well as the alternate mix of "Chewing On Shadows" that was used on the double vinyl LP edition, plus a previously unreleased acoustic version of the same track. The deluxe package also features six color paintings by Tibet. |
