Thunder Perfect Mind
A significant piece of the NWW puzzle - a sister to the C93 LP of same name; starring John Balance and Rose McDowell; and the first to feature Colin Potter - is back in circulation, remastered and expanded to a 2CD with more than an hour of bonus material.
Recorded in Winter 1991, and first issued in 1992 via Steven Stapleton’s United Dairies, Nurse With Wound’s ‘Thunder Perfect Mind’ shares some lyrics and sounds with David Tibet’s homonymous Current 93 album, but is a completely different record. As Steven Stapleton explained to David Keenan in ‘England’s Hidden reverse’, the album’s name came to him in a dream, where he was handing to Tibet the new NWW album ‘Thunder Perfect Mind’. Upon hearing this Tibet agreed to share the album title, and confusion would ensue for unwitting fans as both albums were issued the same year.
So far so typical for NWW, and the music follows with expansive sides of sinister whimsy, packing the original ’92 album’s passage of pulsating, teeth-chatter industrial machinery swept with stereo FX in ‘Cold’, backed by a half hour piece in hallucinatory ambient mode, ‘Colder Still’ riddled with ether voices that transitions to an extended version of ‘Thunder Perfect Mind II’ from C93’s album. The consequent bonus material delineates aspects of both those pieces.
Andrew Liles homes in on, and emphasises, the mechnical thrum of ‘Cold’ with additional metal riffage in ‘Zero Neither No’, subtly contrasting with the way Stapleton makes its cogs almost whirr out of place in the single version, ‘Steel Dream march of the Metal Men’ and the similar ‘Dead Cold’ mix, and its *almost* club ready ‘Cold (Miss Ticker Mix)’, while it gets properly trippy in the shivering ‘Colder Than’ and otoacoustic fuckry of ‘Colder Then’. Exclusive to the set (far as we can make out) is the killer sign off ‘Bad Trip in Berlin’, with Tibet appearing to yowl in an abandoned warehouse against tape loops of kids, street noise, and possessed machinery.
