since the late 1980s. He has collaborated with many artists, including David Tibet

, Antony Hegarty
, Marc Almond
and Rose McDowall
. Cashmore wrote most of the music for Current 93 after the departure of Douglas Pearce in the 1990s.
During a long silence after 1998, it was unclear if Nature And Organisation still existed, as the official Nature And Organisation website was no longer online, and Cashmore released no official statements since the release of the 1998 album, Death in a Snow Leopard Winter. Since then World Serpent Distribution
has dissolved and all Nature And Organisation material is out of print.
In 2006, after breaking his silence with a new official MySpace
page, Michael Cashmore released a new album under his own name entitled Sleep England on Durtro Jnana Records. This was followed in 2007 with the mini-album "The Snow Abides" with vocals by Antony Hegarty, and a collaborative album in 2008, Gabriel and The Lunatic Lover with singer Marc Almond
. It is unclear at the moment if there are any plans to reissue any of the deleted Nature And Organisation material.
