Sleeve Notes
Calling For vanished Faces: Current 93 1984-1999
This collection represents some of my favourite pieces by CurrentNinetyThree in the fifteen years since we were formed. I hope it may give some idea as to how our sound has evolved since 1984, though the themes in the work have remained the same for me since the beginning: apocalypse in the great and the small - the human and the universal; our loss of humanity and innocence; the centrality of Christ as the great mystery and the great question that must be answered; love, silence, sleep, and where dreams go to when they die. The line-up of the group has shifted constantly; however I wish to thank above all Steven Stapleton and Michael Cashmore, as none of this would truly exist without them. I also thank Balance, Denis, Father George, Shirley, Cox, d'Arch, Christoph, Karinsky, Ligotti, BadFairyRose, Kat, Douglas, Tiny Tim, Joolie, and Tony. All of them have been of great importance to me through their friendship over the years. Especial thanks, too, to Nick Cave and Shirley Collins for their vocals on the two versions of 'All The Pretty Little Horses'; and to David, Alan and Alison of World Serpent. And to Andria, immaculate in joy.
