Coil s/d c/d etc

i wish this would get a uk release. shipping is just too much to justify buying it.

To be honest - That's as likely to be USPS not scanning the label as it is to be the label not dropping it at the post office. I sent a record 15 blocks recently that wasn't entered into the system until 2 weeks later when it was scanned in Seattle (for context, I like in Brooklyn).

That's good to know, thanks, and yeah, that's happened to me once or twice. I receive the USPS delivery digest and it's never really accurate.

Anyway sorry to derail, just eager to a/b this one with the Infinite Fog version!

a comment by ryan martin (dais records co-owner) in the "official" coil FB group hints that a reissue of moon's milk in four phases is in the works

Autumn Equinox - Amethyst Deceivers, Winter Solstice - (no other title), Spring Equinox - Moon’s Milk or Under an Unquiet Skull, and Summer Solstice - Bee Stings...they were all great. Live Two also included a version of Amethyst Deceivers

Oops there I go posting to soon!
Surely MTPITD Vol 2 needs to come first!

I have the original CDs, but the remaster of the first was actually really nice, and now I want an updated 2!

agree

same, remaster was A+

if they reissue Moon's Milk they better add that awesome bonus disc with "Coppice" etc

There's that reissue from the other year at least

true, and surprisingly affordable still!

MTPITD2 reissue out on november 29, according to dais

Nice!

Worth buying just for Batwings

Oh nice, thanks manuel! Can't wait.

h/t to StanM for uncovering/discovering these (crossposted from the Ambient Recommendations thread)

8 Soisong broadcasts have been released already this year - by Ivan Pavlov (COH), not clear how many of this was made when Peter Christopherson was still alive but they're interesting and quite magical at times. Some fleeting beats, 60s chansons or Asian pop songs may also drift in and out, but I'd classify this as ambient, overall.

they are extremely cool and mysterious, a great listen

just listened to all 8 on a row and I feel like I've been on an acid trip

*in* a row

why thank you! my pleasure *tips hat*

- Last of the Soisong broadcasts is scheduled in a couple of days btw
- so... MTPITD2 next week on Dais, then? I can't seem to find any preorder/news?

I looked today too - nothing yet. And I want one of those snazzy new shirts but I'd rather bundle it with an LP!

Listened to the WaxTrax LSD reissue again last night, what a great sounding pressing. I can't imagine that the original LP didn't include Things Happen. A highlight of the album for me.

The booklet with interviews and some great context/production info is really well done.

Such a shame it didn't get a UK/EU release but I'm 100% happy I went with this release. Maybe Waxtrax could add the booklet .pdf to the Bandcamp digital release.

Not only is the final Soisong broadcast expected to happen tomorrow, there's also an album coming December 20th:

Just finished the principal recordings of the last Soisong album. Dunno how many on here are familiar with the name, but do you know the sense of "sad relief"? Quite peculiar.. 🤔😅

MTPITD2 preorders for April 8 2022

https://www.daisrecords.com/collections/coil/products/coil-musick-to-play-in-the-dark-2

Rats. A bad day for me to sleep late. Guess it's the Red Insomnia wax for me. I know the glow in the dark vinyl will probably sound like ass (Dais has a disclaimer on their page that suggests they know this, too) but I still think it would have been cool to have, especially since I'll probably also buy the CD anyway

England's Hidden Reverse is getting reprinted too

With new/updated content again too?

the extra content seems to be from the bonus booklet from the second edition.

I lost my copy of Furfur somehow, very annoying

the fuq? https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_ssc=1&_nkw=englands+hidden+reverse

I have both the first and second edition, I guess I'd better get the full set and see where it goes from there

the number of coloured vinyl editions of MTPITD2 is pretty mad. i wonder if any Coil nutters will try to get them all?

the final Soisong broadcast is available for free/name your price: https://coh-official.bandcamp.com/track/soisong-broadcast-9

expected tomorrow: the final Soisong album

and between all the NFT stuff on the COH twitter feed:

oh, I already pasted that. well, it's tomorrow then :-)

This looks, to me, extremely not worthwhile.

yeah - good luck to Danny Hyde with this further milking attempt but the material really is getting very thin now...

Jesus - get lost with that NFT crap already

right. so:

short sketches = bandcamp download : https://coh-official.bandcamp.com/album/kam1e-07

full album = CD : https://soisong.greedbag.com/buy/kam1e/

This looks, to me, extremely not worthwhile.
https://infinitefog.bandcamp.com/album/the-new-backwards-extended-edition

yep, this looks like the least essential reissue so far and will likely be the first one I don't immediately pre-order

3 X LP collectors box €135 EUR or more

just eff right off.

Coil's one of my all time favorite bands but it's weird, now that I have multiple copies of LSD and both volumes of MTPITD, in addition to all the must-have releases I already owned (Horse Rotorvator, Ape of Naples, Black Antlers, And The Ambulance, etc) I kinda think I'm finally done collecting Coil stuff? I mean, given that both Geff and Sleazy are dead and all. Unless there is some crazy revelatory archival thing left to be discovered (doubtful), I think I'm finally OK with what I have.

Pretty much we're at an end point, yeah. It's just repressings or remixes or whatever from here on in, unless more live shows (semi-)formally emerge.

same, I mean after those Threshold Archive releases there's really nothing left that I'm aware of

Live Box is still essential tho

(xp)

Winter solstice today so listening to Moon’s Milk.

Same, and also -

I got me the reissue of MTPITD2 the other week. I'd heard it a few times before and thought it was one of their weaker albums but it's a lot better than I remember. Batwings is one of their finest achievements. Possibly top three Coil tracks material

Just listened to a bit of MTPITD2, my first Coil for quite a few years. Then I went back to Broccoli and was reminded of what I always used to think: do people really take acid/mushrooms and listen to Coil? Some of that stuff seems designed to cause a bad trip (I'm fully prepared to be 'missing the point' on this but thought I'd ask).

i feel MTPITD2 has matured with age and I like it way more now than i did when it came out.

i used to trip to Coil quite a lot, but stopped tripping a little while after "Love's Secret Domain" came out. The one that was way too much to listen to tripping was their Sickness Of Snakes side project but I really did love tripping while listening to those other early albums.
