    One of the most immediately noticeable changes is the stripped back personnel that comprises Current 93 for this release. Instead of the huge and unwieldy collective of musicians used on Black Ships, this EP recalls Soft Black Stars or Sleep Has His House in its limited instrumental palette and group; this time out it's only Baby Dee on keyboards, Tibet on vocals and Andrew Liles inhabiting the usual Steven Stapleton role, producing and mixing.

    Hearing someone other than Maja Elliott tickling the ivories for Current 93 is an interesting change: Baby Dee's style is less impressionistic, more traditionally melodic, tracing beautifully symmetrical piano figures informed by popular music or church playing. In some sense this is appropriate, as Tibet's lyrics become increasingly focused upon Biblical prophecy. In another sense, it seems utterly at odds with the apocalyptic visions being related, creating an unorthodox hybrid of gentle pop and ferocious, unhinged teleological visions ' brainwashed.

    Tracklisting:
    1. I Looked To The South Side Of The Door
    2. She Took Us To The Places Where The Sun Sets
    3. The Nylon Lion Attacks As Kingdom
    4. Suddenly The Living Are Dying

    Honeysuckle Æons is the album by hallucinatory gnostic supergroup Current 93, following hot and hard on the heels of their recent trilogy (Black Ships Ate the Sky, Aleph at Hallucinatory Mountain and Baalstorm, Sing Omega).

    The CD comes in a black and white digi-pack and contains a 16-page booklet with all the lyrics plus photos of the C93 family. 

    Current 93, who were as cool as flies and as real as rainbows, are now as perfect as planets: Eliot Bates, Baby Dee, Andrew Liles, Lisa Pizzighella, Armen Ra and David Tibet.
