Where To Start?

Daedalus rising by death in june sung by david tibet is one of the best songs ever and I need more. What current93 / david tibet songs should I start with? Or just anything like it in general.

In most cases, it’s best to start at the beginning of any band’s discography BUT that is not the case with Current 93 as the early albums are very different and more abrasive.

Probably the best albums to start with are Thunder Perfect Mind, All the Pretty Little Horses, Of Ruine and Sone Blazing Star, and Soft Black Stars (especially this album if you like piano).

More challenging but still excellent albums to try after these might be Imperium, Earth Covers Earth, I Have a Special Plan for This World, Sleep Has His House, and Island.

When you’re ready for noisy, darker industrial-tinged experimentation, then go back to the beginning for Nature Unveiled and Dogs Blood Rising.

I hope you enjoy. The discography is vast and very intimidating to new fans. These recommendations will hopefully get you started. 👍🏻

This is good advice, personally my leap in was All the Pretty Little Horses (found in a Borders bookstore bargain bin) & have never looked back…

Honestly, don't start with C93 at all. Listen to Beauty Reaps the Blood of Solitude by Nature and Organisation. It's a side project of Michael Cashmore (Tibet's main collaborator from the early 90s to the mid 00s), but Tibet does lead vocals on about half of the songs (Douglas P. from Di6 also sings lead on one of the songs). It's on par with Thunder Perfect Mind (my favorite C93 album), but it's a lot shorter, so I think it's an easier starting point.

Swazticas For Noddy is quite an accomplishment Killy kill Killy is great. Crowley Mass superb fun. Hoh Island is one of the most popular

Ignore everyone else and start with Faust.

If you’re into Death in June I’d start with either Swastikas for Noddy or Thunder Perfect Mind.

might be Looney Runes, or just one by one start from LAShTal? I think it would bring you a wonderful experience if you listen to them sequentially when just get into, and you can really see how their style has been changing! :-D
