The Spheres

Current 93 is a group led by David Tibet with an ever-changing lineup of musicians. They began in 1982 and have since released numerous LPs, constantly evolving their style with each record. Initially known for their noisy soundscapes, they later transitioned to a more "apocalyptic folk" sound featuring acoustic guitars and atonal vocals. Permanent members include Michael Cashmore and Steven Stapleton.
In 1984, Current 93 released a ritualistic single titled "LAShTAL." This marked the beginning of their journey in the music industry. Over the years, they have collaborated with various artists and explored different musical genres, creating a unique and diverse discography.
With influences ranging from folk to experimental music, Current 93's compositions are characterized by haunting melodies, thought-provoking lyrics, and atmospheric arrangements. Their ability to constantly reinvent themselves has made them one of the most influential groups in underground music.

The Spheres is a music label created by David Tibet in 2012 specifically for the releases of his Myrninerest project. However, in 2014, The Spheres fully took over from Coptic Cat and became the primary platform for Tibet's musical endeavors.

Under *The Spheres*, Tibet has continued to explore his unique blend of experimental and avant-garde music, pushing boundaries and challenging conventional notions of sound. With a focus on creating immersive sonic experiences, *The Spheres* offers listeners a glimpse into Tibet's creative vision.

As an authoritative figure in the music industry, David Tibet's label has garnered critical acclaim for its thought-provoking releases. Through *The Spheres*, he continues to showcase his own work as well as collaborate with other talented artists who share his passion for innovation and artistic expression.

Soft Black Stars is the 1998 album by Current 93. The album is almost purely piano and poetry, David Tibet's voice sounding more beautiful then ever before, and / Michael Cashmore / Maja Elliot's piano as heartbreaking as music comes.

CD - Expanded reissue housed in a high quality six panel digipack featuring Tibet's artwork.

2LP - Remastered by The Bricoleur, this album contains all the released versions of the album’s final track, Chewing On Shadows - the original album track, as well as the 2 different versions used on the expanded CD release of 2004. In a full-colour sleeve, reproducing the original paintings by David Tibet, and a 2- sided full-colour insert.
