aleph at hallucinatory mountain is the long-awaited new album from current 93 and their first album in three years, following on from their double-platinum-selling album 'black ships ate the sky', and is released on david tibet's new label coptic cat. 'aleph at hallucinatory mountain' is the most unique, most unpredictable and most powerful album yet from current 93. david has brought together an amazing and bizarre array of talents from artists as varied as nurse with wound's stapleton and liles, rock god phenomenon andrew wk, haunting chanteuse and composer baby dee, grammy award-winning genius rickie lee
jones, the beautiful hush arbor's keith wood, world famous porn-star (and winner of the best three way sex scene and best group scene at the adult video network awards) sasha grey, pantalemon's enchanted andria degens, guitar-hero james blackshaw, cyclobe and coil's ossian brown, nyc legend matt sweeney (zwan, neil diamond, superwolf), extraordinary percussionist supreme alex neilson (red krayola, trembling bells, bonnie prince billy), counter-culture guro william breeze and heavenly cellist john contreras (marc almond, baby dee) and created an album unlike any other over. ever! the album comes packaged in a beautiful 6-panel digipak with artwork by david tibet and with a 28-paged full-colour booklet containing all of david's lyrics for the album and photographs of all the members of the
band.
