NURSE WITH WOUND - Thunder Perfect Mind 2CD
Release date: January 23, 2024
Comes as 2CD in a 6-panel Digipak
The original release of Nurse with Wound's gargantuan "Thunder Perfect
Mind" in 1992 coincided with that of Current 93's homonymous
genre-defining album. Legend has it that the gnostic name initially
appeared to Steven Stapleton in a dream as the title of Tibet's then
still nameless upcoming album. Both records feature contributions from
David Tibet, Colin Potter, Rose McDowall, John Balance of Coil, Alan
Trench of Orchis and Joolie Wood amongst others. The title and the
partial overlap of the personnel on both albums isn't quite where the
similarities end, both albums have since become undisputed milestones in
their respective artists' oeuvre.
At the core of the definitive 2023
Infinite Fog re-release fully overseen by Steven Stapleton are the two
original tracks "Cold" - a classic unsettling rhythmic Nurse
collage-fest, significantly closer to jittery psychelia than the
oft-cited "industrial feel" and the epic "Colder Still", easily one of
the most mind-bending breathtaking NWW compositions up to this point and
well beyond. The track soothes ghostly atmosphere and reveals new
surprises with every listen, not least of which is a direct link to its
sister release from c93 as well as the first appearance of the signature
rhythm loop that would mutate and re-emerge on several later tracks.
The album also is the first
full-length collaboration with genius sound wizard Colin Potter who has
since become a ubiquitous sidekick both on Nurse albums as well as in
live performances. As a follow-up to what is widely acknowledged as one
of the best-loved exercises in drone of the 20th century "Soliloquy for
Lilith", TPM is a much more varied but at least equally rewarding
experience. Infinite Fog are beyond pleased to be able to offer a
significantly enhanced, remastered and extended 3 LP version and 2CD version for old and
new fans alike.
