This fourteen-song debut EP shows the promise that Current 93 has. Current 93’s debut, ‘Emblems CD1 - Great Black Time’, does not fit easily into one genre. This disc has all of the essential Current 93 classics. This album is a scorcher!
Falling Back In Fields Of Rape is outstanding work of Current 93. If you are a Current 93 fan, you will love Only Shadows Of Hooks (excerpt). |titile| is the kind of record that makes you remember why music can be so addictive. Album opener Sucking Up Souls (excerpt) is a bright, upbeat ditty. This is one hell of a track. Imperium I is filled with very deep emotions that will truly touch your heart. Imperium II is pretty funky and mellow. It’s so catchy, it’s amazing. I find myself hearing bits of The Ballad Of The Pale Christ here and there throughout my waking hours. Great Black Time II (excerpt) actually sounds so joyous, that you can practically see a smile on Current 93’s face. Great Black Time III (excerpt) - This one is what it is: a powerful, primal invitation to love. Happy Birthday Pigface Christus is probably the highlight of the album.
