 To describe this album, only one adjective is needed: unlistenable.

 It's like turning on a dozen devices at once, including CD players, cassette players, and turntables.

The Great In The Small by Current 93 is a singular, daring project that compresses 20 years of the band's work into a single 61-minute track. Though innovative and unique, the album is overwhelmingly chaotic and largely unlistenable.
