Current 93's most artistically substantial mid-2000s release finds David Tibet and crew charting a course back through
the neofolk territory of their peak years, offering an apocalyptic narrative with the recurring image of the titular black
ships sailing in and out from it. A wide range of guest musicians appear on here from across Tibet's career, from Marc
Almond (who like Tibet was a contributor to early Psychic TV releases) to Anohni of Anthony and the Johnsons, an act
that Tibet actually discovered originally. A little overlong and not quite of the stature of classics like All the Pretty Little
Horses or Thunder Perfect Mind, but still another intriguing trip through David Tibet's deeply personal and
idiosyncratic view of the apocalypse.
