Received the 8 CDs from Forced Exposure, not sure what to think yet. Very first impression? Nothing that's so unmissable that it blows the originally released versions out of the water? Maybe I'll change my mind after a couple of listens, don't know yet.

the very first track on The Angelic Conversation is "How To Destroy Angels" btw, not "Ascension/Enochian Calling/Angelic Stations" as it says on discogs
― StanM, Wednesday, 4 November 2015 18:30 (eight years ago) link
whaaat
are those different tracks on the orig CD? I'm very unfamiliar with that one
note also that the Anal Staircase CD accidentally has the regular LP mix instead of the 'Relentless" mix
― sleeve, Wednesday, 4 November 2015 18:41 (eight years ago) link
sigh
― Jimmywine Dyspeptic, Wednesday, 4 November 2015 18:48 (eight years ago) link
xp: the original CD has Judi Dench reading sonnets by Shakespeare, this one is Dameless and has totally different track lengths+ yep, The Anal Staircase is the LP mix but slightly longer (about 10 seconds)
― StanM, Wednesday, 4 November 2015 18:57 (eight years ago) link
right but have the three tracks you cited been *replaced* by HTDA, or were they simply retitled/reindexed versions of HTDA originally? i.e., have the CD's contents changed other than taking the recitation out?
― sleeve, Wednesday, 4 November 2015 19:09 (eight years ago) link
(I am still waiting on my copy of this, I got it after the other seven)
I just compared them visually in some sound editing program and I stand corrected. They were originally made up from the same samples as HTDA and this one new long track does indeed look more like the first three tracks from the original TAC record with some bits in between. The track length (16:37, just like HTDA) and the sonic similarities were confusing. Apologies.
― StanM, Wednesday, 4 November 2015 19:17 (eight years ago) link
no, that's great, thanks for the detailed answer
― sleeve, Wednesday, 4 November 2015 19:27 (eight years ago) link
So, since Amazon still has these up for pre-order for a 11/13 release date, I threw the dice and ordered three of them today. I expect to have the order canceled at some point, but who knows? Maybe Amazon got some of these before the "recall" or whatever it was and can actually ship them to arrive on time. I'm choosing to be cautiously optimistic. Maybe I should order all of them?
― Wimmels, Tuesday, 10 November 2015 17:30 (eight years ago) link
worth a try imo
got my Angelic Conversation disc yesterday (from Boomkat), so much more enjoyable w/o the spoken word parts
at some point I'm gonna try and write up some impressions, there are some real gems scattered about on these discs
― sleeve, Tuesday, 10 November 2015 17:49 (eight years ago) link
really? I like the spoken word parts on that.
― akm, Tuesday, 10 November 2015 18:37 (eight years ago) link
well sure, I don't dislike that version, but it's a totally different experience without them, like listening to an ambient record. lots of details that I had missed previously.

I still haven't got any Coil, should I wait a bit to see if any definitive reissues come out? I nearly bought Scatology a few times 8 years ago but I wasn't sure if it was the version approved by the band.

XP: 11 years. Not meaning to be a dick at all and pedants are evil scum... I was just reading the new edition of England's Hidden Reverse two days ago so it's fresh in my mind.
― Doran, Friday, 13 November 2015 21:12 (eight years ago) link
Robert: You know there are plenty of more recent Coil albums that are quite easy to get hold of I think. Remote Viewer isn't that highly rated but I think it's great late period Coil with Mike York's amazing Breton Pipes. Very psychedelic and drone-y. You can get an official DL of it from the Threshold House site for like four quid I think. It might not be the best but still a steal at that price.
― Doran, Friday, 13 November 2015 21:19 (eight years ago) link
And you can get a WAV DL of Love's Secret Domain from the same source! For a tenner! Moon's Milk for seven quid... I had no idea! I'm glad I looked now.

I just got a copy of the Remote Viewer 2CD in the mail today, very psyched to listen as I don't think I've ever heard the 2nd disc
― sleeve, Friday, 13 November 2015 21:25 (eight years ago) link
also, is that an advance copy of the book or is SAP actually mailing them out?!?
― sleeve, Friday, 13 November 2015 21:26 (eight years ago) link
Ah, sorry, bit of an accidental humblebrag there, but I share a publisher with David Keenan so I got to see the new PDF ahead of time as I was recording a segment on Coil for BBC 6Music's Freakier Zone tomorrow night just yesterday, so wanted to do a bit of last minute cramming before the show. It's a shame I don't share the author's pugilistic abilities and enjoy the same high regard among the readers of The WIRE as well but you can't have it all. What I can say, judging by the electronic edition I've read, is it's going to be a fine tome - I won't say anything else as I think they're still sweating over what's going in that final proof that goes to print - but the reprint is long overdue, I'm sure you'll agree.

just listened to mr. doran's 7 music coil show. most excellent listening and impeccable track choices! i couldn't agree more about the non inclusion of "restless day" on "scatology".
however, the perennial pedant in me has to point out that lady diana and prince charles got married in 1981 not 1984. i know this, not because i'm a royalist but as in my head their wedding is always associated with the release of flux of pink indian's "neu smell" ep which was released in the summer of '81.
