Current 93
In Menstrual Night

Nowadays, it's hard to imagine David Tibet and Boyd Rice inhabiting the same room, much less recording music together. But it happened in the '80s, and this disc (along with one or two others) is living proof. It's a relic from that magical time when everyone in what was to become the World Serpent scene got along: Tibet, Rice, Douglas Pearce, Steven Stapleton, Tony Wakeford, John Murphy, Rose McDowall, John Balance, et al. Before it all seemed to fracture in the '90s.

And then the other day a funny thing happened: Someone posted on the c93 Yahoo! Groups list that there's to be some sort of "reconciliation" concert by Current 93 and Death in June--sometime in June, perhaps in France. It's got to be a joke, but it's entertaining to think about.

Certainly beats a reunion tour by the freakin' Police.
