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?

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

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)

I mean, kinda makes sense to bring these CDRs back from when the band were still a going concern.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 21 August 2022 20:00 (one year ago) link
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.

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.

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.

On psychedelics the morbid aspects of the music tend to become more amusing than disturbing, for me at least
