Current 93 - This Ain't The Summer Of Love
Recorded: August 31st, 1987 Genre: Neofolk, industrial Notes: Officially released but fan-recorded; notably lo-fi and flawed recording quality, but almost ghostly in quality as a result.

Release date: 1999 Genre: Neofolk, ambient Notes: Fan recorded C93 soundcheck; fragmentary but still gorgeous. Michael Cashmore works his magic like always. |

Release date: 2019 Genre: Stock? Notes: This Bandcamp account tagged all of its albums (which consisted of pleasant stock music and pictures) with black metal tags and whatnot, it was odd. Nice to listen to though, quite calming. |
|

If you know one of these persons (especially that Jesus guy), or by chance meet one, please give them a hug." |
