Sure, every thing is ending, but not yet. Ever since David Tibet's Current 93 sung it's birth canal blues back in the early 1980s, there's been a smell of apocalypse in the air. As the American author of horror novels Thomas Ligotti put it, Tibet has over the years presented us with words and images that are "portentous in a literal and most poetic sense."* No matter how great or small, Tibet's visions have sustained a sense of urgency throughout his many, many projects and towering work. 35 years on, as dark clouds once again are gathering on the horizon, his syncretic tale of the fallen empire inside us all seem to be as pertinent as ever. Arise for bad times. Enter Zu93, the effectively named collaboration between Tibet and the ever-changing Italian group Zu, centered around Massimo Pupillo and Luca Mai. Seven years after the collaborators first met in Rome, the most beautifully apocalyptic city of all, they can finally present Mirror Emperor, mixed and produced by Stefano Pilia. If last year's Create Christ, Sailor Boy, the startling Hypnopazuzu album Tibet made alongside Youth, the legendary producer and Killing Joke bassist, was "a transformative union," the imperial ghost music presented on Mirror Emperor marks a return to their earth, a tour amidst the ruins: Gentle guitars, weeping cellos, the occasional rumbling bass and soft percussion, are melted and gently poured into the sepulchral engine. Despite a few electric swirls or the odd metallic screech Mirror Emperor moves seamlessly and comes across as surprisingly grounded and subtle, yet anticipatory, foreboding and at times even pastoral and Arcadian. The sound of a magical chamber orchestra or Cæsar Legions? Well, Mirror Emperor does echo pivotal moments from the respective catalogues of it's creators, most urgently akin to Zu's acoustic explorations on their 2014 collaboration with Eugene S. Robinson of Oxbow fame, The Left Hand Path, leading up to last year's brilliantly metamorphic Jhator. For others the album will come as a gift from the blazing starres, more than hinting at a stripped down Current 93 of the 90s, perhaps in the same way as 2010's Baalstorm, Sing Omega or Myrninerest's 2012 album, 'Jhonn,' Uttered Babylon at times did. "The album is the closing of a long circle for me," comments Massimo Pupillo. "I've been following David's work since the early days and count Current 93 as one of the main inspirations behind my work with Zu. For me his poetry and music is like a light in the depths of human experience, a soundtrack for one's personal descent into the unconscious fields." "Zu made something very beautiful and very powerful for me to skip into. I love this album," Tibet says. Mirror Emperor adds another chapter in his ever-expanding oblique vision: personal, dense and hallucinatory. A voice through a cloud, indeed. On Mirror Emperor, the demiurge of our demise hides in the cracks of a broken world, beneath stones and moss, among the comets, in tears and things and on BloodBoats, as if a "cosmic melancholy" (Ligotti) is being articulated. More mourning than light. Tibet explains: We all carry different faces, different masks, and all of them will be taken from us. We were born free, and fell through the Mirror into a UnWorld, a Mirror Empire. In this Mirror Empire we are under the Mirror Emperor, and there are MANY Bad Moons Rising. At the final curtain there is scant applause. As the music fades out, we hear a whispered "awake." "Every time I heard this final call to awakening while working on the album, I found myself deeply moved," Pupillo says. "Awake. If this was the last word to come out of Zu, I would be a happy man." What we're left with is a dreamlike suite, created under a murderous moon. Perhaps that is all we ever hoped for. Hey, was that the Apocalypse? Zu93 is: David Tibet, Massimo Pupillo, Stefano Pilia, Luca Mai, Luca Tilli, Andrea Serrapiglio, Sara D'Uva. - TORE ENGELSEN ESPEDAL, MARCH 2018

These work well!
These work to keep my mouth moist for hours. The only downside is the glue stays in your mouth till you can scrape it out with your finger. I thought it would dissolve but it didn’t. Very grateful to find something that moistens my mouth for so long though. They’re easy to use too. Taste slightly sweet but otherwise I didn’t notice anything.

Xylimelts Sensitive
I was sensitive to the regular Xylimelts after a few months use. Painful gums and hives inside my lips and cheeks. The sensitive version immediately corrected the problem and I’ve been using them without issue for nearly a year. The product is a lifesaver for drymouth that occurred when I was sleeping.

Best that I have found for dry mouth.
These are the best for dry mouth at night. They mostly stay stuck. I say mostly because I have had a few come apart. I think that was my fault.

Business Breakthroughs Await: Unleash the Potential of "Who Not How" in Your Ventures!
Format: Kindle
The impact on business success is exponential for those implementing Dan Sullivan’s “Who Not How” model. The strategic framework presented in the book has fundamentally altered the way entrepreneurs navigate the challenges of running and growing their businesses. The model is a game-changer, shifting from the traditional “how” to the more effective “who.” Below are a few key points: Define Your Unique Value Proposition (UVP): The model encourages businesses to articulate what sets them apart, fostering a deep understanding and effective communication of their unique value. It provides guidance on identifying specific topics and themes that resonate most with the target customers, resulting in a more targeted and impactful approach. Identify Key Tasks: The book prompts entrepreneurs to compile a comprehensive list of tasks crucial for business operations and growth, including marketing, branding, and sales. Categorize Tasks: Categorizing tasks into areas of expertise, such as marketing, operations, content creation, and sales, clarifies resource allocation for optimal results. Prioritize High-Impact Tasks: The model assists in identifying tasks with the highest impact on business growth, such as creating compelling content, building a robust online presence, and securing motivated customers. Identify “Whos”: The transformative recommendation to identify experts or partners for specific tasks has proven beneficial. Hiring specialized individuals, like a virtual assistant for administrative tasks, a marketing expert for online promotion, and dedicated customer service, enhances efficiency and customer satisfaction. Build a Team of Experts: Assembling a team of individuals with complementary skills is a game-changer. Leveraging the efficiency of freelancers, agencies, and part-time professionals fulfills specific roles, contributing to overall business growth. Dan Sullivan’s “Who Not How” model is more than just a book; it’s a strategic guide empowering businesses to leverage expertise and build a team capable of achieving remarkable results. The book is highly recommended to fellow entrepreneurs seeking exponential business growth. ~ Linsey Mills
