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)

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

so... when do we get out the "scraping the barrel" reactions? I feel like we're close
― StanM, Sunday, 21 August 2022 19:57 (one year ago) link
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.

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

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!

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'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

According to this supposedly reliable website, they had already split up by the time of the Conway Hall gig:

actually, after further consideration i'm kind of over "Circles of Mania" so maybe it's just right.

Unless I am mistaken, I thought I read that Sleazy was in Thailand when John had his accident, and not in the house watching tv as the review states
Otherwise, great review

shame i know but i'm a coil newbie, just letting "fire of the mind" from the ape of naples sink in over the last few months, what a belter.

So, the first time I hung out with one of my best friends, we got pretty loaded and he was playing music on his mini disc player. It was a copy of a Coil album and he didn't know the name of it. It was one of the most extreme things I have heard, although I'm not sure how much my state of mind played into that. But it sort of sounded like the speakers were tearing themselves apart. I've only heard a little Coil since then and nothing sounded like that at all. I don't remember much of a rhythm to the music, it sounded really shredded and brutal. Honestly, I don't know if I would recognize it again if I heard it but I've been curious as to what it could have been for a while. There's also the chance that it was mislabeled. I've asked him about it since then and the minidisk is long gone. Any idea what it could be?
