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

Great chair keeps you feeling cool!
I love the mesh areas - it keeps you feeling cool. I love the high back and neck area (it’s adjustable) the seat tilts back and allows you to relax (for me it’s a good back stretch ) I recommend this chair for any office use!

Sturdy and Comfortable
I’m really impressed with this ergonomic office chair. Assembly was incredibly easy I had it put together much faster than I expected, and everything fit together perfectly without any frustration. The teal green color is beautiful and one of my absolute favorites; it adds such a nice pop to my workspace.
As a heavier person, I’m always cautious about weight capacity, but this chair feels genuinely solid and supportive. No wobbling, no sinking just sturdy, reliable construction. The seat cushion is comfortable for long hours at the computer, and the back support has made a noticeable difference in reducing my back pain.
I also appreciate how easy it is to clean. A quick wipe keeps it looking fresh, and the material doesn’t trap dust or pet hair. The wheels glide smoothly, making it easy to roll and turn without any effort.
For the price, the quality and value are fantastic. This chair has definitely made my workdays more comfortable. I highly recommend it especially for anyone who’s heavier and hesitant about sturdiness.

Great chair — comfortable, sturdy, and surprisingly easy to assemble
The first thing that impressed me was how steady and solid it feels. It’s not wobbly or flimsy at all, and the base and wheels roll smoothly without feeling cheap. Once assembled, it feels like a chair that will last.
Assembly was also easier than expected. The instructions were straightforward, and all the parts lined up well. My 12-year-old son helped assemble it and was able to do most of it himself with some effort.
Comfort-wise, it’s excellent for everyday use. The mesh back is breathable, the seat feels supportive, and the tilt adjustment (90–125°) is a nice bonus when I want to lean back and relax. The 3D armrests are also a great touch and help with positioning for desk work.
Overall Nice chair

I LOVE THIS CHAIR!
I've had a manager's style leather chair for the past four years from one of the office supplies big box stores and the armrests began to wear off, so the need for a suitable replacement was needed. Immediately, I knew how badly my posture was in the former chair and the ergonomics of this chair are 100% comfortable. The lumbar support is a little difficult to adjust correctly and that would be my only item for the makers to improve in future iterations. Overall, I am impressed with the quality, ease of assembly and downright comfort of this chair. I enjoy the settings especially the one to lock-in the recline degree of the back halfway and the leg rest is durable and strong. This change was for the better and I'm way more energized to get through my digital workflows for hours at a time without any fatigue. The item is cheaper than when I bought it and that's an absolute steal and bargain with much value hopefully for years to enjoy.
