Aleister Crowley’s “Tango Song” to be recorded

After recording with Othon Mataragas for his debut album, Soft Cell’s Marc Almond will be returning to the studio with him to record Aleister Crowley’s “Tango Song”.

The “Tango Song” was written by Aleister Crowley with music by Bernard Page; the first musical score was published in 1913.

From a product description on JDHolmes.com:

The TANGO is a short play originally published in the EQUINOX, No. 9. and includes THE TANGO SONG (words by Crowley & music by Bernard Page). The sheet music for this song, referred to in a footnote, was thought to have remained unpublished and lost. Neither Yorke or Fuller made note of the item and none of the major Crowley collections throughout the world has a copy. In 1991, a copy was discovered. While Crowley wrote many songs during his life, THE TANGO SONG is unique in being the only one of his songs to be published. THE TANGO SONG and THE TANGO, a 16 page booklet printed on hand-made paper. Letter of provenance available as to authenticity of Mandrake printing.

Should be interesting to hear.  I wonder how it will compare to the original?
