Well, it's 1994, two years have passed after the release of the masterpiece bearing the name "Thunder Perfect Mind", and after "Of Ruine Or Some Blazing Starre" (1994 as well) Tibet and Current 93 release the renowned EP "Lucifer Over London".

Tibet seems to be a very creative and inspired person and this is quite obvious from the fact that he has released, under the name of Current 93, so many full-length albums, EPs, 7'' etc (many of them in a short period of time) showing that whenever he chooses to compose and release something he's got a lot to offer and, also, haunt the listener with his ideas.

This EP consists only of three compositions, the monumental opus bearing the name "Lucifer Over London" (a song that Rotting Christ covered wonderfully, in my opinion, in their album "Khronos"), "Sad Go Round" and "The Seven Seals?" For one more time Tibet pours his soul in his compositions and "Lucifer Over London" could be no exception, a wonderful, inspired and affected neo-folk song based mainly on rock-oriented guitars and acoustic guitar chords, with Tibet's interpretation being deeply expressive, sounding more and more vivid and passionate as the song goes on, reaching the 5th minute where we have a change and the overall atmosphere becomes so devout and serene with all the bells chiming and Tibet's recites floating in the air.

"Sad Go Round" is a beautiful melancholic composition, based once again on guitars, slightly distorted rock-oriented and acoustic ones, accompanying Tibet's serene interpretation, giving life to the pessimistic lyrics in the way only he knows and "The Seven Seals?" is a 13-minute long epic composition where Tibet recites a story, being accompanied by a serene psychedelic musical background of sounds, melodies, FX etc.

All in all, "Lucifer Over London" is a must-have album for all the Current 93 adorers and a should-own release for the Rotting Christ fans if they want to cherish the grandeur of the real "Lucifer Over London" version, but also embrace a really good melancholic composition, "Sad Go Round", and a traveling atmospheric spoken-word song, "The Seven Seals?" Just don't miss it and lose yourself in its not-of-this-world lyrical soundscapes.
