Nature and Organisation

Nature and Organisation was the solo project of Michael Cashmore, an English multi-instrumentalist noted for contributions to Current 93. The project produced Beauty Reaps the Blood of Solitude (1994) and the unfinished Death in a Snow Leopard Winter (1998).

Beauty Reaps the Blood of Solitude was originally released in 1994 on Durtro; Trisol later reissued material as Snow Leopard Messiah with bonus tracks. Collaborators on the recordings mentioned in reviews include David Tibet, Rose McDowall and Douglas Pearce. Death in a Snow Leopard Winter is described as an unfinished 1998 instrumental/piano-and-strings work.

DeBaser's available review praises Nature and Organisation's 1994 album Beauty Reaps the Blood of Solitude as a peak of apocalyptic folk. The review highlights Michael Cashmore as the project's author and notes high-profile collaborators (David Tibet, Rose McDowall, Douglas Pearce). The Trisol reissue Snow Leopard Messiah, with bonus tracks and the unfinished Death in a Snow Leopard Winter, is recommended.

For:Fans of apocalyptic folk, Current 93, Death in June, neofolk and chamber-influenced folk music.
