Release Notes:
This album was originally released by Durtro in 1998. It was recorded in Ireland
between 1997 and 1998 with David Tibet on vocals, Maja Elliott on piano, Petr
Vastl on ghost violin and viola, Michael Cashmore on guitar and second piano,
Steven Stapleton on whirl and Andria Tibet on ghost vocals and whistle. It was
mixed by Christoph Heemann and Current 93 at his studio in Aachen, Germany. The
music was written and adapted by Cashmore, Tibet and Elliott, with the exception
of "Judas as Black Moth", "A Gothic Love Song" and "Whilst the Night Rejoices
Profound and Still", the music for which was written by Cashmore. Mastered by
Denis Blackham at Skye Mastering. Post-mastering by Michael Lawrence at Coptic
Cat Studio.
All words by David Tibet, except the album title, which is taken from the short
story "Teatro Grottesco" by Thomas Ligotti. All artwork by David Tibet. This
expanded reissue contains the entire album as released on CD, as well as an
alternate version of "Chewing on Shadows" that was used on the double vinyl LP
edition, as well as a previously unreleased acoustic take of the same track.
There is a five minute gap between the ending of the original album and these
two additional versions of "Chewing on Shadows". My thanks and love to Andria
Tibet, Steven Stapleton, Mark Logan, Michael Lawrence and Paul Jackson. We all
remain as we wait for the Return. Come quickly.
David Tibet, London, 2 XI 2004
