Antificial Weblog 2.0: apocalyptic folk

So, a newly mixed version of Current 93's latest labum, Black Ships Ate the Sky, has been released in December of last year, named the same except for the tense. In case you didn't have any idea they had this album, "Black Ships Ate the Sky" is probably the "lightest" thing Current 93 have ever done.

The new version didn't seem to sound THAT very different from the "standard" version to me on large parts (it does sound different, but the Durtro site said "this is an absolutely ALTERNATIVE version of the BLACK SHIPS ATE THE SKY album" - accentuation left, etc.), but then again, I haven't listened to the whole thing yet so it might very well be so. Anyway, some tracks do sound very elsewise and on the whole, it really has a more "acoustic" touch to it. Enjoy and don't get confused over the version numbers of "Why Caesar Is Burning", they put part I on the alternate version.
