Notes
Recorded in 2002, the first recorded album by Marsfield.

Limited to 300 copies on 180 gramme vinyl in handmade sleeve with embossed metallic wrap and wide obi.

Flavour text written by Brendan Walls for the press release:

"Shortly after the Second World War, a medical facility for returned soldiers was built in the small town of Marsfield.

The patients were in some way incapacitated by that great and monstrous war; some missing limbs, some deafened or blinded by explosions, others driven out of their senses.

A few muttered old military secrets, a few sang long-forgotten ballads, a few built small ships inside milk bottles; others walked the corridors and grounds, scanning every dark corner for an unseen but ever present enemy.

It was not an unhappy place; there was a sense of deep friendship amongst the patients, bound as they were by the collective hell of battle. One of the most popular amongst the men was Lieutenant Wilson. He was no more than a Lance Corporal but earned the nickname Lieutenant during his stay at the home. Wilson had the remarkable ability to receive radio signals through the metal plate in his head. He would touch a metal window frame or steel bed head, incline his head at oblique angles, open his mouth and a sort of popping static would emanate from within his dark mouth. Subtle manipulations of his jaw, the inclination of his head or his physical location in the room would alter the signals he received.

As it happened he was the longest surviving member of the facility. When it was decommissioned in 2000, he was to be moved to a neighbouring hospital to see out his final days. Wilson resolutely refused to be moved. Barricading himself in his room, he declined food, water and medical attention until he was eventually moved to the west wing of the home and cared for by a rotation of staff members from the nearby hospital. He finally passed away in the later months of 2002 when this album was recorded."

Robert Haigh 'Anonymous Lights' CD
Siren Records : Siren 019
Release date : (23 September 2010)
In the early 1980's Robert Haigh released several highly acclaimed albums under the name of SEMA on his own label Le Rey Records. His 2009 release Notes and Crossings (Siren Records) consisted of 14 pieces of both written and improvised piano music and a quite magnificent return to the timeless piano sound of his 80's classics. It was favorably received among not only long-time SEMA listeners, but also those who love works by Erik Satie, Steve Reich and Harold Budd.
'Anonymous Lights' is Robert Haigh's new album, that develops the sound of Notes and Crossings. The album is comprised of 14 tracks, one of which (the concluding track, Book of Fixed Stars is over 11 minutes long. The formats are similar to Notes and Crossings, short minimal compositions with a contemporary classical feel in places, but the album attempts to breaks a few tonal and compositional rules within the conventions of minimal piano composition. There are some subtle twists of melody and atonality at work and in some ways 'Anonymous Lights' is a more personal and mature work than Notes and Crossings.
The album was mastered by Denis Blackham at Skye Mastering. In an edition 500 copies with hand-made miniature jacket sleeve + Japanese Obi designed by Faraway Press.

音楽 : Current 93 box sets from Vinyl on Demand









Regarding the extraordinarily beautiful box sets from VoD, Frank Maier has asked me to state this:

“All orders of the new Current 93 release on VOD Records have now been shipped to the customers. Both Current 93 wooden boxes (VOD 74 and VOD 75) as well as the deluxe fine linen folder are now sold out at VOD Records. You have to contact a VOD distributor directly to see if they have any copies left. All the offered standalone records from the VOD box sets VOD 74 and VOD 75 are still available from the VOD shop but we are also running low on quantity very quickly. For more information visit their website, English language here and German language here. The shop for both languages is here and takes you straight to the page which shows what is sold out and what remains of the various editions.”

(Coptic Cat news 20 August 2010)

VOD74: CURRENT 93 4LP Unreleased Rarities, Out-takes, Rehearsals and Live 82-95 lmtd.600 88,88 €

VOLUME 1: Wooden box set, with embossed cover of blood-red C93 symbol, of David Tibet's Current 93 project includes 2 LP’s with unreleased rarities, out-takes, rehearsals and demos dating from 1983-1995 as well as another 2 LPs with 4 performances from Amsterdam (1984), Hamburg (1985) and Tokyo (1988). Also contained is a beautiful silkscreened poster made out of hand-made paper produced in Nepal. The box will also contain a metal badge and will be accompanied by a 28-page booklet, with embossed cover, full of very personal photos personally selected by David Tibet from his archives. The booklet itself manifests a journey back in time to the first 15 years of Current 93’s existence. Members will recieve an additional Bonus 7“ with two songs from the 1988 Reykjavîk performance and the complete London concert at the 100 Club from 1985.

VOD75: CURRENT 93 4LP wooden Box incl. "CHRIST & THE PALE QUEENS, MIGHTY IN SORROW /THE RED FACE OF GOD, EMBLEMS, AS THE WORLD DISAPPEARS" lmtd.600 88,88 €

VOLUME 2: Wooden box set, with embossed cover of blood-red C93 symbol different to that on Volume 1, of David Tibet's Current 93 project will contain "Christ and the Pale Queens" plus "The Red Face of God" as a Double LP; "As the World Disappears", released for the first time ever on vinyl, and finally an official release of the legendary "Emblems" LP, which has until now only existed as a test-pressing. "Emblems" was originally going to be a single LP of material that was only released on the now-deleted 2CD "Emblems", but it never progressed beyond a very limited run of white vinyl test-pressings, which are now ferociously rare and expensive. The box will also contain a metal badge (a different badge to that in VOD74) and will be accompanied by a beautiful booklet, with embossed cover, with very personal photos selected by David Tibet from his archives; this booklet is totally different to the one in VOD 74. Members will also receive in addition a long-sleeve Current 93-T-Shirt.

At David Tibet's express request, the covers for all the LPs have been supplied by the wonderful German, Berlin-based, artist Uwe Henneken, who has used C93 album, and song, titles for many of his extraordinary creations.
