Marc Almond With Michael Cashmore
Gabriel And The Lunatic Lover CD DUJ05
Gabriel And The Lunatic Lover is the first release, in what will be a series of collaborative releases by Marc Almond and Michael Cashmore, sets to music two poems by Count Stanislaus Eric Stenbock - the extraordinary 19th-century gay writer whose bizarre life of decadence, drug-addiction, alcoholism, poetry coupled with Satanic, vampiric, Catholic and paederastic obsessions led to his early death at the age of 36 in 1895. His final years, it is said, saw Stenbock accompanied everywhere by a life-size wooden doll that he called "le petit comte" and which he believed to be his son.
