the Coil thread

I’ve recently (thanks to this thread and it’s users) been trying to dive into the world of coil and I just have to say the black light district album is just amazing. If I was blown away by that, where else can I go? 

damn that picture disc IS sexy. the price tag, not so much. sigh

Try the Solstice EPs, and then maybe Elph and Time Machines work.

I'd really like to see a reissue of the Solstice EPs, great collection of tracks.

I'd say The Remote Viewer and Astral Disaster would also be worth checking out, along with the above, if you haven't listened to them yet. 

Appreciate it! Their catalogue is quite varied and vast and I appreciate having some recommendations for starting points!

Splurged for the LSD triple picture disc LP. It’s not audiophile quality, but my Coil vinyl collection is mostly mint display copies. $90, not cheap but worth it IMO.

I'm tempted by the gold but haven't pulled plug yet it's a lot of money.

My favorites:

Scatology

Horse Rotorvator

Musick To Play In The Dark 1 & 2

Time Machines (excellent drone, if you're into that)

The Ape of Naples

Love's Secret Domain is an essential too.

Sleazy, Ministry, and William S. Burroughs from a video shoot

I grabbed the 2xCD compilation on my recent Cold Spring order, Guide for Beginners / Finishers.  I thought / hoped it may have come with some liner notes or explanation, but there is nothing other than the tracklisting.

It is indeed a very varied listen! I have very little experience with the Coil back catalogue.

sth of an overlooked album, but BLACK ANTLERS is one of my favourites and makes for a good introduction to late period coil

also,

i see the appeal, but as my government didn't give out any stimulus checks i wish they'd just release a normal, good quality vinyl re-issue with no extras and affordable pricing alongside the collector's edition...

Went on a binge and got lsd, stolen, musick, black light district, and time machines for starters

Some rare vinyl test pressings up for auction:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/COIL-Black-Light-District-2x-LP-Vinyl-Test-Pressing/144011865293

For someone who loves lsd, black light and time machines and listens to bits of Musik to play, what should I check out next. I've been enjoying LSD a lot and like that more uptempo techno vibe to Ape of Naples style stuff which although great isn't as much fun of a listen or something...

Cheers me dears

There will be a Soisong broadcast at Station Essence today, Friday 22 Jan at 20:21 pm CET. I won't be able to tune into the transmission myself but hope someone might record for posterity.

So Ivan has kindly made this broadcast available for free on Bandcamp. I can recognise familiar melodic motifs from Soisong jams of yore, as well as some class selections from Datacide, Jon Hassell, etc. So damn good.

Those soisong broadcasts are the best thing this year, Ivan is the only person who can cast the same magick as coil i find

LSD reissues fresh off the truck

Not heard #2 yet but the first might be my favourite release so far of 2021, it reminds me a lot of FSOL's The Electric Brain Storm mixes

For those like me still waffling about the various LSD remasters — I realized today that Wax Trax’s remaster is on Bandcamp, quite affordable, and not only that, you get 24bit/96kHz files:

https://coil-lsd-waxtrax.bandcamp.com

I actually haven’t listened yet, but I assume the remaster is good? Anyway, might be worth snagging, definitely wasn’t expecting to be able to get hi-res files for cheap on this one

This was what I was afraid of, 3 different competing versions of the same product released almost simultaneously.

A little reddit post regarding who produced which versions of the LSD reissues:

The splatter vinyl looks fucking sweet.

I’m watching the numbers drop now. When I started viewing on bandcamp it was at 13, now it’s 11. I might pull the trigger.......

My copy of LSD arrived yesterday (Infinite Frog / gold ed) Will be giving it a listen tonight, fingers crossed the pressing is good. The quality of the sleeve, and poster are good, nice and robust.

Anyone order the Dias? would be interested in a comparison.
