Thanks. The tattoo linked above is actually mostly artwork by Nick Blinko of Rudimentary Peni, but the composition is mine. Plus the Crass logo, of course, and the Flux Indian toward the back.

Send him over, I’d like to hear his input.

Beautiful analysis...and the parallels you draw make sense..not to mention your tattoos are really original looking. My friend at this mmorpg site is a bigger Crass fan than I am so he needs to see this.

Right you are! And you know what? I knew that but it somehow slipped my mind while I was writing this. Steve Ignorant is credited on Dogs Blood Rising but, even if he wasn’t, his voice is so distinctive that it’s hard to miss for anyone who’s familiar with it.

I actually didn’t know Eve Libertine was on that recording as well, which is yet another Current 93-Crass connection. Thanks.

Actually, Steve Ignorant’s contributions to Current 93 were more extensive than that: He appeared as a guest on the original recording of “Falling Back in Fields of Rape”, and served as second vocalist at many early live shows. Mostly post-Crass, though, but still. Plus, Eve Libertine contributes spoken vocals to the aforementioned track (and damned scary ones).

You know, this album has actually grown on my quite a bit in the months since my writing this. I find myself putting it on more often than I expected to. Perhaps it’s one of those recordings that can sometime take a while to fully appreciate.

My thoughts on this album is that it is great, i would have expected things like the music from current 93, but was overwhelmed by the melancholy and… what can you say, longing(?) in the music. It’s a fantastic album if you ask me, and the 45 minutes seem like eternity in a positive way for me. It is not one of these normal albums you just get random happiness from, it is what i call filled music with real emotion. B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L (if you ask me still ;) )

I wish I could, but unfortunately I don’t have any contact with either David or Steven. I’m doing this site strictly as a fan, not as someone closely involved.

Good luck, and sorry I couldn’t help.
