Detailed overview of the careers of three UK acts: Coil, Nurse With Wound, and Current 93. Throughout their collective histories, these bands have experimented with an impressive battery of drugs, magics, and surrealist techniques, so reading this makes for grade-A vicarious experience.
“With a weltanschauung taking in Noddy, neglected cat artist Louis Wain, The Venerable ‘Chi.Med Rig.’Dzin Lama, Rinpoche, and English composer William Lawes, Tibet’s beatification of the outsize American oddball specialty singer Tiny Tim should come as no surprise” (251-252).
