The group Blake focuses on for the Day 736 post is called Current 93, the album, Thunder Perfect Mind and there are two songs included in the post. Blake suggests that the artists have made these tracks in an effort to create a Rock Opera and Blake gives comparisons between Current 93 and bands like The Who, Pink Floyd and The Beatles - who also made very successful Rock Opera albums.
Apparently Current 93/Thunder Perfect Mind, name and all were inspired by spiritual writings (Nag Hammadi, Dead Sea Scrolls) outside of the long-established Christian canon. Gnosticism...That alone makes the music and opera-storyline within the music interesting to me.
Now, just so I don't ruin the focus here, I'm going to end the post so you can head over to The 800 Days blog and have a listen to the music...links above, remember?
Day 736 is associated with Wednesday December 15 2010.
Hey MB, just so the audio phreaks dont have a field day on ya...the group is called Current 93. The album is called Thunder Perfect Mind...you probably did not realize, but in the circles it is known for, it is as big as Sgt. Pepper. So I am giving you the heads up. Thanks for the audio / vid archive idea...I am working on some solutions myself. IAOTIO
