Current 93 - Halo

The first of a comprehensive reissue series of the Durtro and United Dairies catalogue, concentrating almost exclusively on the work of the legendary English bands Current 93 and Nurse with Wound, Halo is a live album featuring the entire set performed by the expanded line-up of Current 93 (David Tibet, vocals; Michael Cashmore, guitar and bass; Maja Elliott, piano; Joe Budenholzer, guitar; Graham Jeffery, piano; Joolie Wood, violin, whistle and recorder; John Contreras, cello; Karl Blake, voice; Finn Sands: voice) at their sold-out concert at the Queen Elizabeth Hall at London's South Bank center on October 9, 2003; it is David Tibet's personal favorite of all the live Current 93 albums. This 67-minute-long album is packaged in a beautiful full-color gatefold digipak. It was originally released by World Serpent in an edition of 1, 000 copies which sold out immediately. This the album's second pressing, making it one of the rarer of the recent Current 93 albums.
