The Long Shadow Falls collects the 41 unknown and redreamt mixes that Current 93 created for two (long-ago sold-out) lathe-cut 12" releases, respectively titled 'The Long Shadow Falls' and 'Why Can't We All Just Walk Away?'. Whereas the original lathe pressings are lost to time, this reissue thankfully revives this curiously lengthy record. The former suite is riven across a whopping 39 twelve-or-so-minute ambient/post-rock cuts, while 'Why Can't We All Just Walk Away' comes as a single fourteen minute opus, and is backed by a short untitled tune. Yes, this is the same song repeated 41 times over, with subtle differences in the mix between them. Evincing the musical cunning of a Himalayan cat, these are just the sorts of antics we've come to expect from Tibet and co.
