Al Cisneros of Sleep/Asbestosdeath/Om fame has gone and doned a mixtape (except on CD) for everybody (but particularly Arthur magazine) and he's called it Transmissions From Sinai and there are loads of cool dudes and David Tibet on it. I quite like a bit of Current 93 but even the other inhabitants of this cursed realm commented that they didn't mind his track so that's one immediate testament to Big Al's selection prowess. Also featuring are prime cuts from the likes of Grouper, Six Organs of Admittance, Hush Arbors, J Mascis, Grails, Richard Bishop and the like.. All the mystical lads (and J Mascis) out to represent represent represent. And they do, since this is easily the best thing I've heard at this relatively early stage of the week! It's worth it just for the Linval Thompson classic on the second track, to be honest. Packaged in a tasteful fold-out digipak and limited to 1000 copies, just in case you need further encouragement..
