Coil s/d c/d etc

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:

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.. 🤔😅

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.

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.

^ the one coil thing I never liked

thighpaulsandra.co.uk : " Available now on CD, the first in a series of remastered live COIL releases and re-releases: 'Selvaggina, Go Back into the Woods' "

the new Dais remastered MTPITD2 vinyl pressing sounds fabulous btw

Thighpaulsandra has just put out a rerelease of Selvaggina, Go Back into the Woods:

Of note: he says this will be "the first in a series of remastered live COIL releases and re-releases."

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)

I always get black if it's an option

so this is what it feels like to be in Ned's killfile

Ha, my apologies StanM, had completely missed your post. No killfile, just me being a doof.

;-)

Constant Shallowness also on Bandcamp now - https://coilofficial.bandcamp.com/album/constant-shallowness-leads-to-evil

Heads up, another live archival release via Thighpaulsandra, free download:

Thank you!

nice!

Megalithomania reissue announced

https://www.thighpaulsandra.co.uk/store/p224/Megalithomania%21_-_Coil_at_Conway_Hall.html#/

so... when do we get out the "scraping the barrel" reactions? I feel like we're close

I mean, kinda makes sense to bring these CDRs back from when the band were still a going concern.

xp not this one, it's great. you wanna see scraping the barrel, check out Swanyard

this and all the live ones and ANS really do need legit reissues imo.

Isn't this the one where it sounds like Sleazy and John are breaking up onstage?

I don't think so, this is all instrumental iirc

indeed - "why are you here?" was at this show.

thought this revive was gonna be about this - http://strangeattractor.co.uk/shoppe/everything-keeps-dissolving/

^^ well that looks pretty cool

Ah yes, that's what I was thinking of. Not sure how much the lore surrounding that event is accurate, or if that callout was actually meant for Sleazy or was just John doing a bit, but I just did some reading and I guess they, uh, decoupled a few days later.

And yes I will definitely be buying that book. Thank you for posting that!

I've done it a bit. It can be overwhelming if you're not in a positive state of mind to begin with, but listening to LSD on its namesake substance is like entering a portal to another realm.

MTPITD2 might be my favorite Coil these days; I could live inside "Tiny Golden Books," dosed or not.
