Emblems: The Menstrual Years (CD 1 of 2)

There are only three songs on this two-disc set that aren't found on other C93 CDs: "Happy Birthday Pigface Christus," "Hooves," and "The Signs and the Sighs of Emptiness." "Happy Birthday" alone makes it worth owning, and I'm sort of surprised David Tibet didn't see fit to add this rare track to the SixSixSix: SickSickSick compilation that came out a few years ago.

Anyway, it's a solid overview of the first two phases in C93's musical output, from the noisy looped choirs era to the folky acoustic guitar period. If you don't already own it and can find a reasonably priced copy on eBay, grab it.
