More Info

"Thunder Perfect Mind has long been considered one of the best, most well-rounded albums from Current 93.

The title to this record itself comes from a cryptic poem written in the 2nd Century and associated with Christian Gnosticism. Inspired by the beauty and riddles of this poem, David Tibet grounds the blueprint for Current 93's music which continues to this day: an eccentric reworking of '60s British folk tinged with a sadness that reflects Tibet's own notion of the fall of humanity against his unique interpretation of the divine.

Lilting melodies for acoustic guitar, violin and flute dominate Current 93's Thunder Perfect Mind, with the ever-present Tibet divining his own personal mythology with its pantheon that includes Christ, Hitler and Khalki as its protagonists as well as saintly references to his many friends (notably Death In June's Douglas P). As strikingly personal as Tibet's lyrics are, he invokes a stylized beauty through his fragile folk music.

Reissued for the first time on vinyl since 1992." [Stranded Rec.]
