  • Aleister Crowley and the Hidden God to Assume
    Introduction THIS BOOK contains a critical study of Aleister Crowley's system of sexual magick and its affmities with the ancient Tantric rites of Kali, the dark goddess of blood and dissolution represented in Crowley's Cult as the Scarlet Woman. It is an attempt to supply a key to the work of an Adept whose vast knowledge of occultism was unsurpassed by any previous Western authority. I have emphasized the similarity between Crowley's Cult of Thelema and Tantra because the present wave of interest in the Tantric System makes it probable that readers will be able to assess more fully the importance of Crowley's contribution to occultism in general and to the Magical Path in particular. As a result of many years' research into obscure phases of occultism I have evolved a method of dream control for contacting extra-terrestrial and non-human entities; this forms the substance of Chapters Six and Seven. This method is described in relation to the mysteries of Kundalini, the supreme magical power symbolized by the sleeping Fire Snake at the base of the spine which, after its awakening, activates the subtle power-zones in the human body. Aleister Crowley, Austin Spare, Dion Fortune and the German occultist Eugen Grosche were among the first Adepts in the West to teach the use of the psycho-sexual energies, the Ophidian Current that informed the most ancient arcana of Africa and the Far East. Although it was Crowley who first integrated this current with the Westem Esoteric Tradition, this was not achieved without some doubtful interpretations of oriental symbolism.

Untitled Instrumental #6 [DAT #30] 5 takes from the BLD Sessions 1995-1996. London’s Lost Rivers [Take #2 - vocals] Rough vocal track w. minimal backing mix. Lost Rivers of London [Take #1] Early version with vocals. Crackanthorpe; Sunrise Reading from Vignettes by Phil Barrington. London’s Lost Rivers [Take #1] Initial studio version with abrupt ending. [Cover Version] By The Psychogeographical Commission. Hidden Hydrology COIL's 'Lost Rivers' Studio Sessions COIL's "Lost Rivers" sessions were recorded during the Winter period of December 1995- February 1996 at COIL's own "Slut's Hole" studio in London. The day-long sessions were part of what ultimately became the "A Thousand Lights In A Darkened Room" album (at least as far as the vinyl pressing of that album went), though were apparently very rushed recordings (Jhonn later claimed that the full vocal version was written and recorded in one day to meet the “Succour” compilation deadline - Jhonn’s wraparound vocals were not redone for the BLD track). Around this winter time Jhonn Balance received a fax from David Tibet containing evocative passages from the Crackanthorpe "Vignettes" journal, originally published 100 years earlier (1896). Jhonn loved the sections he read and swiftly used passages as lyrics for the recording sessions to meet the Succour deadline (lifting text from the ‘On Chelsea Embankment’ and “In Richmond Park” sections of the small book). At the very same time as recording this track, the official (and long-awaited) 2nd Edition of the Nicholas Barton book called "The Lost Rivers of London" appeared in the bookshops of the city.

  • DISINTEGRATION Loop 1.1
    SVILOVA | WILLIAM BASINSKI DISINTEGRATION LOOP 1.1 WILLIAM BASINSKI JUNE 18–JULY 31, 2014 www.svilova.org 1 SVILOVA | WILLIAM BASINSKI SCALE BE THY KING: THE BLACK Mirror OF William Basinski By David Keenan 1. Scalle Bee Thie Kynge. There is a magical idea, rarely articulated, that imagination is the world-creating matrix of desire, in other words that imagination is what translates a sensation into a thought. Disintegration Loops, still the central, emblematic work of the artist and composer William Basinski, conflates the biological with the constructed, the historical with the personal, by a creative act of imagination that would attempt to mimic the function of memory via accidental processes of auto-forgetting while connecting it with historical trauma –the 9/11 attacks on the Twin Towers as a head wound – and romantic portraiture, through the back cover recreation of Henry Wallis’s 1856 painting, The Death Of Chatterton, with Basinski posed as the dead 18th Century English poet, who poisoned himself in 1770, aged 17. Thomas Chatterton’s reputation as a forger of mystical poetry is of note here. From the age of 12 onwards he produced a run of strange, visionary verse that he claimed was the work of a 15th century monk of his own invention, Thomas Rowley. Indeed, a particular adjective, “Rowliean”, has been coined to describe the works of this historical figment, this shade birthed of an intoxicated imagination. Rowley’s verse is difficult, its language being largely derived from Chatterton’s study of the English philologist John Kersey’s Dictionarium Anglo-Britannicum, “comprehending a brief explication of all sorts of difficult words”.

  • Simon Finn Music 1969
    Simon Finn Music 1969 - 2014 Excerpt from The Hour Un-Finn-ished business by Steve Guimon Simon Finn has been given another crack at the troubled profession of sing- er/songwriter, his story the stuff of legend: A lone wolf troubadour from the mid-’60s U.K. scene, he rubbed shoulders with the likes of Bert Jansch. The powerful Pass the Distance, released to critical acclaim, seemingly lost for- ever... Since, a new record has surfaced – capturing the past and the present, a seamless transition despite the quarter century Simon Finn has won over fans worldwide – including Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore and ex-Blur gui- tarist Graham Coxon – with his passion, his wit and his soul-shaking music. Aside from his solo shows Simon also plays guitar in a band called Current 93, which were the cover story of the July Wire. In 2006 his original album, Pass the Distance, was made in 1969, with David Toop (author of The Rap Attack and Oceans of Sound) and Paul Burwell. It was produced by Vic Keary who ran Mushroom records at the time. His 2007 release, Accidental Life, has also been recorded and mastered by Vic Keary. Playing on it are: Joolie Woods, David Toop, Karl Blake (Lemon Kittens) Keith Godman, with backing vocals from Danielle Dax and Rose McDowall (Strawberry Switchblade). Alex Shoumatoff, contributing editor Vanity Fair “Simon Finn is one of the last old time Sixties singer-songwriters. His songs have words that are actually worth listening to, and his voice is great. He’s a quirky original and the real deal.
