2 stars Mad Rambling Is Nearly All That's Left

I was expecting a deep pulsating void of stark black electronics and the apt David Tibet vocals to accompany such a thing. I wrap the cellophane from the album and proceed to whack it on my stereo. A vague tone of tape noise or something like a distant hint of a power-tool emerges and a ceremonial voice suddenly utters:

'I am the last of all the field that fell

The invisible church born in your mouth

Dreams pour into your condom'

"What?" I say, and listen even more intently as the following desolate observations are delivered in the best Edgar Allen Poe manner. The sort of cobwebs of the mind one often weaves in the wee hours of night, where black is black and every thought and imagery are solid dreams on this dark canvas.

That's how I imagine Tibet; lying in a dark damp studio made out of fog and old stones. He hasn't slept for days, and the darkness around him only heightens his senses - taking in all and everything without filter - spewing out horrible dreams from a poignant mind.

'Your children are my children'

That one really speaks to me, although it's followed by a train of sentences......perpetuating a dark lord Ginsberg in leather and black boots.

'Shall we - Can we execute?'

Perhaps, but let's leave it up to people with scores to settle.

'The sex of stars?'

I often wonder about that too.

'The salmon in high heels - the salamander in drag.....'

What were we talking about again? Oh yes the new Current 93 album 'My Name Is Nearly All That's Left'.....erm yeah well, this isn't so much an album as it is a spoken word performance akin to a dark preacherman's ramblings after a strange night of peyote and serrated thoughts. Let me put it this way: you'll be looking long and hard for any music on this baby! Hah! Churning elliptical drones is more like it. The voice towers everything.

Get this one if you're an English teacher looking for something wordy and poetic to scare the living daylights out of your first graders at Christmas. Get it if you're into stagnant universes - low calorie, low fat, low everything "music". Get it if you've always pondered what it would sound like had Bernard Marx decided to cut an album AFTER he'd lost his marbles. Get it if you're interested in things that others find repulsive. Get it and you're mad as moccasins.
