Coil s/d c/d etc

the above post posted in a john balance state of intoxication.

r1o you should check out Live 3 and Live 4 if you haven't yet, they have some amazing moments on them. Also search the versions of "A.Y.O.R." and "Cold Cell" that were on those Russian-only compilations, they are soooo good and not available elsewhere.

Just got my preordered http://www.thedarkageoflove.com/ CD in the mail today!

thanks for the this immortal coil heads up.

there is also an exclusive alternative version of "a cold cell" called "a cold cell in bangkok" on this -

yeah that's a good mix. interesting that you find Musick To Play In The Dark 2 to be weak compared to the first one, as for me there's not much in it. either one could be my favourite of the two depending on which one is currently playing.

there may be a bit more filler on 2 but i figured they were from the same recording sessions which might explain a slight discrepancy in quality. but "tiny golden books" is a monster, and "batwings" is my favourite john balance performance. and "ether"! one of the best Coil songs full stop. amazing record.

i'll definitely check out those two live records, i still regularly listen to ...And The Ambulance Died In His Arms. and the live videos on youtube are stunning.

fuck i can't really think of any other bands capable of releasing two of its best albums during its twilight years. they were pretty special.

can anyone recommend the album made with thighpaulsandra's mum on vocals? sounds intrsting

perhaps i was a tad harsh. i was DEFINITELY a tad drunk when i posted that. musick...1 just blew me away so much that 2 couldn't really live up to it to my ears. by anyone else's standards it is a mighty fine album but i just never really bonded with it. i completely agree that "tiny golden books" and "batwings" are fabulous though.

I love the Optimo Sleepwalk album.

And Time Machines is probably my most played Coil record, works really well at a range of different volumes. I've sometimes found that if it's on quietly in the background it seems to distort my perception even more than loud or on headphones. I'd appreciate if anyone knowledgeable could point me in the direction of anything similar that they've done.

There's been talk of a 2 CD version of Time Machines forever, but nothing's been confirmed yet. Nothing comparable in their discography, though.

Unless you're happy with the also-simple-tones-but-not-similar-at-all concept stuff on ANS - http://www.brainwashed.com/common/htdocs/discog/coilans.php?site=coil08

CoilANS is nice. I also remember liking Constant Shallowness Leads To Evil, but haven't heard it in a while.
My favorite Coil works remain Musick To Play In The Dark, both volumes, followed by Ape Of Naples, esp. for the final track.

I bought ANS thinking it would be similar and although I like it, it doesn't do it for me the way Time Machines does. It's probably due a re-listen though.

Maybe this is because I'm a fan, but er...

And start saving $$$ for COLOUR SOUND OBLIVION, the (10?) DVD live box set that's coming up! (any year now!)

nice list but i was hoping we could talk specifically about post LSD coil. where can i hear the depeche mode remix?

http://www.imeem.com/defector/music/W18MIxkK/depeche-mode-rush-black-sun-mix/

Is pretty much all of the coil stuff from the 90s out of print? Every time I see used CDs by them lately they're $30 and up.

Ow baby!

http://thresholdhouse.greedbag.com/release/~colour-sound-oblivion-coils-offi/

Colour Sound Oblivion will consist of at least 12 dvds of all the Incarnations of Coil Live, with simultaneous Projection channels, plus at least 2 discs of alternate versions Projections with "karaoke" backing tracks and audio loops, which you can use to remake Coil Live in your own image. A minimum of 14 dvds, possibly more - the final total depends on the last bits of compiling being done by the end of the year.

Guess who is one of the 200 crazy Coil fans who preordered this :-)

bad link maybe? getting a 404.

not that I could afford this.

Ah. The linkifier has removed the slash at the end.

Try this link.

Dear StanM.
Yr the best.

If you ever need someone to play coil karaoke with you just send me a message.

That Karaoke thing is the only worrying part, indeed.

I'm pretty sure yr supposed to sacrifice chickens into the mic and invite a demon to possess your body before beginning your growling. That and drugs.

COLOUR SOUND OBLIVION regular preorder to be initiated any minute now (more details are there as well)

interested to see that new vid for ostia tho...

that's awesome and I am going to listen to those songs tomorrow evening

I think these guys know all the secrets.

the word 'shaman' isn't used lightly, when it is used for members of Coil

Jhonn's gone, Peter's gone...but Danny Hyde's still around and um. To quote a friend on FB, "Danny Hyde used to be in COIL. Now he self-releases terrible music. But there is one saving grace: the MS Paint "artwork" for his releases is so terrible that it achieves outsider art brilliance."

The first album wasn't terrible, but everything is specifically constructed for people who like Coil - except there's no spark.

If you are wondering why artists generally don't and shouldn't personally reply to critics, the criticism Ned quoted has been personally replied to by the artist on the coil mailing list. Not a good idea. Handbags at dawn @ the coil mailing list again.

Aural Rage? Yikes.

Brainwashed is running a massive Coil Love's Secret Domain retrospective this week, including interviews with the surviving members who worked on LSD and about 10 different think-pieces on the album... worth a look for any fan I'd think

Ilxor, thanks for the heads-up!

I've sometimes found that if it's on quietly in the background it seems to distort my perception even more than loud or on headphones.

^^^ this. It truly is spooky how, err, visceral this album is, even at low volumes. Magick!!

Also, today I'm thinking "Batwings (A Liminal Hymn)" is my all time favorite song.

Love love love Coil so much.

Still can't get my head around it that they're both gone.

previously unreleased soundtrack by COIL commisioned for Basilisk Communications VHS Sara Dale's Sensual Massage. unearthed few years ago on COIL mailing list, this version is mixed into one track for better flow of music. enjoy this gem. and remember to say please and thank you for the things you never had.

Thank you for this, new Coil is always a great thing.

Just picked up Live One recently and it is so wonderful. They were really channeling something special on these nights, eh? Even more so than usual. "The Universe is a Haunted House" is incredible. £40 well spent. I can see this becoming one of my favourite CDs.
