Coil s/d c/d etc

Peter’s share of the proceeds will once again be donated to the SET Foundation and as before, payments will be issued to other contributors and survivors.

given that the discs are six bucks each, this seems reasonable, particularly when taken in the context of the "Product Description" as a whole.

xp!

love living 2 hours from Portland/Soleilmoon, the discs arrived today.

full tracklists are up now on Discogs, looks like some great extras (Journey To Avebury!):

https://www.discogs.com/label/910477-Threshold-Archives

oh and also catalog numbers 17-18 and 21-22 are missing, so there are probably some still to come, possibly doubles as noted in the Discogs comments

Nice -- looks like mine will arrive early next week, just got the initial delivery confirmation.

holy moly this 60-minute version of Mayhem Accelerator is certainly something to behold

And the new Threshold Archives and Porto now in hand. Oh frabjous day, etc.

"Heavens Blade (John Balance Vox Demo)" from Swanyard is superb, I'm skipping around on first listen but wow this is just great

it's nice that all of these recent archive releases are very tightly focused on specific eras/phases of the band

Yeah for a situation where it seems there's no coordination it generally worked out pretty well.

And yet another "official re-release" on the way:

So strange to re-read this thread after all these years. The "little one" I mention in my posts is now a 15-year-old about to finish her freshman year of high school. Time flies.

Coil live 6th April 2003 – All Tomorrow’s Parties – Camber Sands, UK

Found in a box of old DV tapes, here's a video that Sleazy gave me permission to film from the side of the stage during their performance at ATP. Edit/sync by Mika Hallbäck Vuorenpää. https://t.co/XOb08UPVkA pic.twitter.com/63EjnxpaID

Thanks!

cool, two days after "...And The Ambulance Died In His Arms"

in other news, Swanyard has some high points but a LOT of track duplication. Disappointing overall, and probably should have been a single CD, but hey why not release everything even if it's multiple versions (some tracks are repeated three times).

"No really, THIS one is the variant!"

Oh cool, I was at that ATP performance. I mostly remember Balance repeatedly asking them to turn the volume up.

I was at that ATP and saw that performance.
I had no idea who Coil were at the time and couldn't decide if I was meant to find it funny or not.

I had somehow missed that there are two competing versions of the Black Light District reissue, the Infinite Fog version has a bonus track but the Dais version supposedly has better sound.

Thighpaulsandra has made another live show available, Copenhagen 2002 -- supposedly digital only, free download:

reissue of stolen and contaminated songs might have solved the problem of which coil record to get on lp for me - horse rotovator is just way too expensive

reissue of stolen and contaminated songs might have solved the problem of which coil record to get on lp for me - horse rotovator is just way too expensive

please allow me to say that one more time

stolen and contaminated songs is up there with their best. superior to LSD imo. my cd had disc rot so super happy to have it on vinyl now.

As usual with these reissues the most pressing question for me is who, if anyone, authorized it and who stands to benefit financially.

i presume danny hyde is authorising it though of course it is debateable whether he is morally able to do that. there is nobody / nothing to stop him though.

my cd had disc rot so super happy to have it on vinyl now.

me too, although I was able to rip it without issues. and yeah, it's a great one.

current commute CD is Queens Of The Circulating Library, it's been at least 15 years since I listened to it.

same here. must dig it out.

Another new release:

i think we are now fully into completely ripping the piss territory.

yeah Hyde could just be making "new" tracks himself at this point

this is like outtakes from Swanyard, sad lol

tbf the Coil remix of Scorn he mentions was pretty great

The fact he refers to this music as "content" is already enough to turn stomachs.

Finally getting around to hearing Stolen & Contaminated Songs and it's great (and much better than the tumbleweeds blowing through this thread would suggest). The "Love's Secret Domain" demo uses the same vocal take (at least I am 95% sure it does), and there are few vocals elsewhere (though the answering machine message on "Who'll Fall" is chilling - does anyone know whose voice that is?). I've never been 100% clear about the division of labor in Coil, though I assume it's similar to a lot of sorta He's-the-DJ-I'm-The-Rapper type duos (ie Pet Shop Boys), and that Sleazy handles the lion's share of the production work. I'm sure there are people who know how it breaks down and who does what, but this is actually the first time I've thought about it.

One other observation after one listen: I think people forget how funny Coil can be. For example, see "Wrim Wram Wrom," whose tantalizingly inscrutable title appears to be inspired not by some esoteric Gnostic evocation but by the phonetic rendering of the synth sounds used on the track! That's my take, anyway.

Yes, it is wonderful. The answering machine message on "Who'll Fall" was from a good friend of theirs but I don't think they ever revealed exactly who it was.

Sleazy was responsible for the vast majority of the production work; in the earlier days i think probably 100%. Around the LSD era Balance was perhaps a bit more involved with the production work. And yes, Coil had so much humour, something that I feel passes some of their more po faced fans by completely.

looks like they took horse rotorvator off spotify

seems dais is reissuing musick to play in the dark vol. 1

Makes sense since McDowell was still in the band then.

nice, I would like to own a legit (well, as legit as it can get) copy of this on vinyl

presale starts tomorrow 7am pacific 10am eastern

Presales on the label's website, do you think? I don't use the zuckronimicon.

yep I think that works

https://www.daisrecords.com/

Do they have a European partner to pre-order from to avoid stupid customs and postage costs?

live now - https://www.daisrecords.com/collections/coil

Oh cool they're doing CDs too. Thanks.

Also Norman Records

got the black vinyl and the circle t-shirt, stoked

The "moon" vinyl (200 copies) was sold out at 8:08

managed to get the "eclipse" version though (400 copies)

Been wanting this on vinyl for years. Very happy

wish i had known about Norman Records.

i often say i have worn out a record but in the case of this it is actually true. original copies go for crazy money but mine has been played so much it must be totally worthless now. excited to hear it without scratches.

With WAVs from Bleep as well.

yeah thanks for pointing out the norman option, kraudive!
