"This 32 track 2-Disc collection provides a surprisingly cohesive overview of David Tibet's Current 93. Emphasizing Tibet's haunting, almost liturgical British gothic folk over his early industrial noise experiments, Black As Judas Moth includes tracks from rare and out of print releases including seven songs from All The Pretty Little Horses from 1996, 4 selections from Soft Black Stars, two cuts from Thunder Perfect Mind & the mini album, Earth Covers Earth (1990), and more. Think of the movie "The Wicker Man" and you'll have some idea of the general mood here. Includes guest vocalists Nick Cave & Shirley Collins featured on "All The Pretty Little Horses." Compiled & remastered by David Tibet. Lack of performer credits in the booklet is the only shortcoming."
Excellent Collection.

"Focusing on some of the best work of David Tibet, Steven Stapleton, Michael Cashmore, and friends, this collection gives the listener an opportunity to dive head first into the haunted and beautiful world of Current 93. This is a great purchase for seasoned fans, beginners, and the curious alike."
