CURRENT 93 - Nature Unveiled (Remastered) - CD [MAY 22]

CD - gatefold digipak sleeve — inner printed on both sides; 12 page booklet. Remastered by The Bricoleur at Bladud Flies!, and with the original artwork refreshed and reborn by Rob Hopeye (2026 Reissue). 

Current 93's debut album Nature Unveiled, recorded in 1984. The music is very dark, creepy and mesmerizing. Nature Unveiled is the quintessence of Tibet's black masses, fusing mantra and Gregorian invocations, "unveiled" an ode to eternal suffering, a terrifying fresco of the Universal Judgement.

Current 93’s first and last album, Nature Unveiled dragged together my obsessions, as I had decided to make a pop album that dealt with my (then—as now!) primary fascinations: Christian apocalyptic and eschatological Christian texts. In my Speed-Ridden Soul and Mind, I thought I was reinventing The Ronettes, and that the 2 long sides of Nature Unveiled were A- and B- Sides of a Wall Of Soundhogs HIT! But the reality is that I was sharing a squat in Vauxhall with Little Annie Anxiety, and hanging out with Youth in The BatCave, with chickens rescued by The Animal Liberation Front in our backyard. Or did that come soon after, soon later? The album was recorded at The Roundhouse Studios in London’s Chalk Farm, home of Bronze Records, the label of my heroes (then—as now!) Uriah Heep, and Motörhead too, for whom I had moved stage-gear on their tour promoting their debut single on Chiswick Records.

Anyway, anyway—I had not reinvented The Ronettes, though every time, every place, I listen to Nature Unveiled it hits me, and feels like a judas kiss.

There has been nothing unveiled like Nature Unveiled, before, since, or after.
