h/t to StanM for uncovering/discovering these (crossposted from the Ambient Recommendations thread)
https://coh-official.bandcamp.com/
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?
― StanM, Saturday, 20 November 2021 20:05 (two years ago) link
I looked today too - nothing yet. And I want one of those snazzy new shirts but I'd rather bundle it with an LP!
― Paul Ponzi, Saturday, 20 November 2021 20:52 (two years ago) link
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.. 🤔😅— COH 🎶 (@CoH_tweet) November 14, 2021

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
― paolo, Tuesday, 30 November 2021 08:42 (two years ago) link
With new/updated content again too?
― StanM, Tuesday, 30 November 2021 09:35 (two years ago) link
the extra content seems to be from the bonus booklet from the second edition.http://strangeattractor.co.uk/shoppe/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
― StanM, Tuesday, 30 November 2021 17:02 (two years ago) link
the number of coloured vinyl editions of MTPITD2 is pretty mad. i wonder if any Coil nutters will try to get them all?

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

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.
― Paul Ponzi, Monday, 20 December 2021 20:58 (two years ago) link
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.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 20 December 2021 21:09 (two years ago) link
same, I mean after those Threshold Archive releases there's really nothing left that I'm aware of
Live Box is still essential tho

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
― paolo, Friday, 20 May 2022 20:05 (one year ago) link
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).
― Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Friday, 20 May 2022 20:38 (one year ago) link
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.

Which color variation did you get? I ended up getting the "transparent crystal blue" or whatever they were calling it, and was pleasantly surprised by how good it sounded, given the dreaded colored vinyl
I used to think I preferred volume 1 but these days I'm leaning toward this second volume being the better of the two, though that could be because I was previously a lot more familiar with Volume 1 for many years ("Batwings" aside)
