Reeling In The Weeks—Which Felt Like Years — After My First Current 93 Album, I Had Started On The Difficult Second C93 Album, DOGS BLOOD RISING.

Having Been Asked To Appear On Both Top Of The Pops AND The Old Grey Whistle Test 93 Times In The Same Week After The Release Of NATURE UNVEILED, I Realised That God Was Telling Me That I Had Hit On A Winning Formula Of Christian Eschatology And Apocalyptic Christian Texts Over A SoundScape As Cool As Flies, But That I Was Missing The Vital Ingredient Of A Simon & Garfunkel Song. DOGS BLOOD RISING — Which I Described To Myself In A VISION As An Album Which Hoped, Wished, And Made Bad Trips Sound Like Good Trips — Was Essentially The Mirror Night Of NATURE UNVEILED, Although Only Half Of It Was Recorded At Roundhouse Studios. Squats Were Calling, And 8-Track Studios Were All I Was Able To Afford. DOGS BLOOD RISING Didn’t Chart, Except In My NightSweats. Listening To It Now, It Makes Me As Restless As I Was Then, Staring Beyond The Windows There, Watching And Praying For Something, Someone, Anything, Anyone. 

Remastered By The Bricoleur At Bladud Flies!, And With The Original Artwork Refreshed And Reborn By Rob Hopeye, This 12” Vinyl Picture-Disc Comes In A Full-Colour Die-Cut Sleeve, Which Is Printed On Both The Outside And Inside.

This Is One Of The First 4 Reissues Of The Entire Back Catalogue Of C93 On Picture-Disc And Standard Vinyl, In The Lead-Up To The Publication Of My Autobiography At The End Of 2025, Whilst I Also Work On Many Other Recording, Publishing, And Painting Projects, And Watch And Pray! Each Release In The Picture-Disc Vinyl Reissues Series Is Limited To 1,000 Copies, And The Titles Will Not Be Repressed As Picture-Discs Once They Have Sold Out.
