Coil s/d c/d etc

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.

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:

Well hey, look what made the Pitchfork Sunday review

https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/coil-horse-rotorvator/

9.5 is too low.

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

the highs are so high but there are a few I've never clicked with tbh

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?

Queens of The Circulating Library, I would guess

oh, or this, too: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_Shallowness_Leads_to_Evil

THAT'S IT!

totally

I've tried, I really have, but these two releases... no. And they're still my favourite band, if I had to pick one.

what? queens of the circulating library is sounding damn fine to me atm.

yeah I love that one

... I may be confusing it with 20 to 2000 (ELpH). There's two clamshells I never liked, that much I know.

I was just randomly checking jumping around the wikipedia entries for coil and came across this:

While the Black Antlers and The Remote Viewer re-releases were made available as announced, Christopherson was never to issue Moon's Milk (In Six Phases) in his lifetime. His passing makes it uncertain whether the package will ever eventuate as at this stage there have been no further Coil releases. Danny Hyde, who worked with Christopherson on the proposed reissue, eventually released the additional material that had been intended for the third disc of the set. Issued as Moon's Milk in Final Phase, the three tracks were credited to Electric Sewer Age rather than Coil.[4]

And then looked up "Electric Sewer Age" on Tidal and there are three albums on there (and presumably on all streaming services). So there's some additional Coil stuff out there I was not aware of and I might as well share the info here. I'm enjoying "Moon's Milk in Final Phase" right now.

bump coil thread to gain more treasure

Not directly Coil, but Phil Legard and company with a sharp trio of live covers here:

My fellow fans are sleeping on the job this morning!

(Directly) Coil, at last:

https://www.daisrecords.com/products/coil-moons-milk-in-four-phases

why on earth would they only use two of the original covers, smh

I already have all of this in two formats, but I'm glad it's being reissued

I'm just happy they're including the bonus disc

yeah, it's great

also includes the 4th track that was previously only on the Archives version

All but the most limited colored vinyl edition (330 copies) is still available as of 11EST

i snagged a red one even though i have it in 3 formats already (one is a bootleg). i'm usually pretty good at not doing compulsive purchasing these days but had a mega fail here.

yeah I'ma skip this one too, three formats already as well :-)
