Coil s/d c/d etc

Coil member Drew McDowell supervised the remaster, maybe that helped?

it is amazing but it'll be a wee while before i could say it is the greatest thing they ever did.

it's been a wee while, and StanM was right, it is (still) the best thing they ever did

I think that's actually me saying it's the best thing they ever did (which feels like a bit of an overstatement now, although it is definitely up there).

Ah, you're right, it was you! Sorry, misread that.

I'm still gonna have to go with MTPITD but Ape may have higher high points, granted

vol 1 or 2?

Both :)

If I had to choose, the one with "Broccoli"

MTPITD 1 FTW

For overall life impact / most revisited, forever Horse rotorvator.

I might go with MTPID2 just for Batwings.

Moving Batwings from vol. 2 to vol. 1 makes vol. 1 a perfect album and vol. 2 pretty inessential imo

the two Dais Records albums are out btw

Moving Batwings from vol. 2 to vol. 1 makes vol. 1 a perfect album and vol. 2 pretty inessential imo

OK listening to vol 1 + batwings today and I am inclined to agree.

I was prompted to listen to some Coil today by going back to a bunch of Vladimir Ivokovic mixes. This one in particular might be of interest to people on this thread:

https://www.mixesdb.com/w/2018-03-01_-_Vladimir_Ivkovic_-_Phonica_Mix_Series_46

The Xen track on here is incredible, but can't find any further info about it on Discogs, not even the Les Disques De La Mort label page. Know anything about it?

Anyway, great mix, thanks!

Drew McDowall doesn't seem to have his own thread on here but I chatted with the good man recently about some of his new favorites.

No, I did try poking around a bit, but couldn't find anything apart from it being in a few other mixes. Guessing it's still forthcoming? I agree it's awesome.

If you liked this mix then definitely check out others by Ivkovic, there are a load of great ones.

Being able to buy Coil CDs in HMV in a non descript Northern town (Warrington) is an odd thing but I picked up a copy of Worship the Glitch in there last Sunday. It feels right. I want them to seep into other people's lives and their waking lives the way they have mine. Feels right to be able to walk to my flat just minutes walk from the Mersey river, past the weird sports bar where the owner first played me early Tangerine Dream to listen to it. Feels like the sort of thing that'd make Geff and Sleazy happy.

aw, thanks for that post. I miss them.

happy solstice:

A hell of a thing. Will be deep diving a bit more into that soon.

Ah this is great. Thanks !

Just in time for winter! Perfect.

A cursory look reveals no actual audio, though, just information, reviews and photos - or am I missing it?

Either way, this is great. Thank you!

the download links are at the bottom of every gig page

You know which release is among their most perfect material and slightly lacking exposure for new fans ? The Remote Viewer. The one with five tracks. It may have displaced The Ape, Horse and MtpitD1 as my definite favorite.

Also, random anecdote: one night once, I thought I saw a ghost by my open window as I was listening very attentively to A White Rainbow. Whatever optical illusion was at work made me talk to it, to see if I'd get any answer.

check out this one too, I always think it fits well with The Remote Viewer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moons_Milk_(In_Four_Phases)_Bonus_Disc

Black Antlers fits the bill here too, I think

BTW, don't ignore the 'LCA Studio Coil Projects' section of the archive -- four collections of unreleased demos, with (according to them) no duplication with the bonus tracks from the reissues three years back.

thanks for pointing that out!

yep, that's the real meat here (at least, so far)

wowwww @ the full length version of 'Boy In A Suitcase' - still digging into these studio sessions, some incredible stuff here

uh

Wow. I hope this isn't too limited, as I can't afford this at the moment!

looks like a regular release:

https://stormingthebase.bandcamp.com/merch/coil-swanyard-2cd-digipak

That will do.

Meantime, Thighpaulsandra is apparently continuing the Live series:

Anyway I do think it's interesting how Hyde and McDowall are essentially reclaiming the mid 90's legacy in different ways. (The latter strictly via specific reissues, granted.)

Also, Hyde allegedly has *another* archival release coming, an expanded version of The Gay Man's Guide To Safer Sex tracks:

https://www.discogs.com/Coil-The-Gay-Mans-Guide-To-Safer-Sex-2/release/13504410

Per a note appended:

Hello everyone, just to reassure you, this is an official release, licensed from Danny Hyde, released with his blessing, with HQ files + a CD version for those who like it like that. We can't wait for this to come out, when we get a release date we'll let you know. Thanks ! Ed @ Musique Pour La Danse

Said label's site:

https://shop.mentalgroove.ch/

I'm not sure whether a new Coil release being "licensed from Danny Hyde" necessarily makes it official at this point. Who knows where the rights lie.

https://archive.org/details/JhonnToKlaus

Thought it was discussed upthread but no, at this point nothing is official that gets newly released or reissued. It’s all essentially a bootleg one way or another because there’s no central estate.

Exactly so, which is why I was surprised that you quoted that discogs note without comment.

*shrug* I just read it as authorized by Danny Hyde. Maybe he’s trying to leave Cold Spring behind.

In any event, that Gay Man's Guide release is now up for preorder:

https://shop.mentalgroove.ch/album/the-gay-mans-guide-to-safer-sex-2-ost

Man there really is a new flood on, here's another live 'authorized bootleg' via Soleilmoon:

https://www.soleilmoon.com/shop/coil-porto/

“Porto” is the only authorized bootleg live recording of a Coil live performance.
Coil performed on 21 June 2003 at the Casa da Música Festival in Porto, Portugal. Present on stage that night were Peter Christopherson, Ossian Brown and Thighpaulsandra. Jhonn Balance was not part of the lineup, possibly due to his drug and alcohol addictions. Because of his absence the music on this recording is entirely instrumental. The show was also notable for being Ossian’s last appearance with Coil.
This edition is manufactured and released in Portugal, and is distributed in North America by Soleilmoon. Royalties will be paid to the remaining artists involved in the concert.
Tracklist
1. Blue Rats (18:14)
2. Triple Sun (12:56)
3. Radio Westin (13:32)
4. Drip Drop (10:04)
5. The First Five Minutes After Death (11:24)

interesting, as far as I can recall that show has always been MP3-sourced (even the CDRs), wonder if this is an improvement

Another 8 Threshold Archive CDs

https://www.soleilmoon.com/shop/threshold-archives-series-2/

I can see Restitution of decayed intelligence, blue, and I think moons milk? No track listings though.

The CDs are pretty cheap but postage to the UK is more expensive than the discs so I’m going to hold off ordering for now

thanks for the heads up there, I really appreciate it

(guessing from L-R and top-bottom that these are Moon's Milk, Blue, Worship The Glitch, Protection, Foxtrot, Astral Disaster, Porto, and Restitution)

I had protection on repeat earlier this week before I heard about this, no idea what the cover art looked like, so if there is a whole calf related stuff I’m stoked

But stoked for everything really
