Available exclusively - the first 500 mail-order copies version that includes the playable full-color picture-postcard reproducing David Tibet's painting of the track Like Swallowing SunBeams, inserted in risograph-printed CandyBag. The box set essentially represents a dark ambient/industrial re-imagination of Current 93's early apocalyptic works, where Andrew Liles has extracted and amplified the most disturbing and ritualistic elements, creating soundscapes that function as sonic invocations rather than simple songs.
In what may be the most apocalyptically beautiful resurrection in experimental music history, Current 93 presents Like Swallowing Eclipses, a monumental box set that transforms 3,900 years of sonic evolution (or 2010, depending on your temporal perspective) into a testament to the eternal return of visionary sound. Conceived when David Tibet and Andrew Liles first decided to ReDream and ReName the foundational six-and-two-halves C93 albums from Steve Pittis' legendary Dirter label, this collection has now been ReBirthed to mark The Death Of The Age, Or Æon, Or Arse, Of Aquarius. What emerges is not mere reissue archaeology, but a complete sonic rebirth – the original vinyl albums ReMastered by "Master Monster" Liles, alongside an additional CD ReScheming C93's pivotal Who Is The Sufferer?
The collection transcends conventional box set boundaries, featuring a full-color 7" single ReWishing the Ancient Single There's No Hiding From The BlackBird, five color cards, and a poster painted by Tibet himself. The entire package has been ReSigned from original artwork by Saint Rob Hopeye, creating a visual mythology as rich as the sonic one contained within.
Limited to 1,000 copies, this archaeological treasure offers an additional mystery: the first 500 mail-order copies include a playable full-color picture-postcard reproducing Tibet's painting of the C93 track Like Swallowing SunBeams, inserted into a risograph-printed CandyBag. This tactile artifact transforms the act of listening into ritual, the album into talisman. The material spanning these albums – originally performed and released across Current 93's UnVeiled, Rising, MalD'Aurorian, MoonBled, DayBreaking, Faustian, Suffering, and BlackBird incarnations – finds new life through Liles' visionary recontextualization. Each track becomes both historical document and prophetic vision, existing simultaneously in multiple timelines of meaning.
