Current 93-Soft Black Stars (1998)

A very minimalist work of Current 93's, this album consists mostly of piano music, with David's tell-tale poetic vocal stylings, as opposed to the usual acoustic guitars and electronic meddlings. An interesting and different take on Current 93, but certainly worth your time. Recommended. Durtro.
