The "A Gothic Love Song" 12'' had given an idea to the audience of Current 93 what to expect, but no-one was expecting how great and different the next attempt of the band would be, one of their most mature, emotionally, works up to date, probably the most for me.

Tibet and Michael Cashmore join forces, Tibet offers the lyrics and his vocal interpretation and Cashmore composes most of the musical part, based mainly on heart-rending and esoteric piano pieces, accompanied by the violin, the acoustic guitar, the viola and other instruments that would keep the fragile aesthetic of the new album, "Soft Black Stars".

Perhaps not the best Current album, but along with Drake's "Pink Moon" (although the genre is a bit different) this must be the most intimate album I've ever heard. So strange yet so moving.
