Coil s/d c/d etc

Weird. I would have expected somebody with at least a peripheral connection to Sleazy/Balance/Thighpaulsandra/somebody, but a tweet from the people who just run the Greedbag back-end?

I'd love for the Brainwashed reissues to become a reality, but I've long since learned to be skeptical about anything Coil-related, and those almost seem too good to be true... :(

Mainly I just want the opportunity to legally, ethically give someone money for Horse Rotorvator, really

Stevø, Pay Us What You Owe Us!

I missed the Brainwashed announcement, what did it say?

(interview from 2001)

Robin Rimbaud tweeted yesterday that Ian Johnstone, Balance's former partner, has passed away.

wow

Did anybody notice that there's a mess of Coil back catalogue and live recordings uploaded to Archive.org via Brainwashed (I think), tons of it, FLAC files, DVDs the lot and all for free at the moment, it's quite something.

https://archive.org/search.php?query=creator%3A%22Coil%22%20AND%20mediatype%3A%28audio%29

Nice, thx for the tip

excellent, thanks

Moon's Milk bonus disc in FLAC = classic

Holy crap

I have way too many of those on cd - not that I'm complaining though

xmas in July! I'm gonna try to dl as many of these as I can before this disappears. thanks!

I'm going to need a new hard drive! Over the past few hours, I've downloaded about 75% of the non-live stuff here, including albums I already have because I don't have FLACs of a lot of them. Can anyone tell me which (non-official) live albums here are good, in terms of quality of recording, etc? I'm not saying I don't have the patience or the obsession to sit here and dl them all and sort through them later, I'm just saying I don't have the time to do it right now.

I had forgotten how fucking amazing Black Antlers is. I remember speaking to Andrew L!les once and telling him Ape of Naples was my favorite Coil album, and him telling me he thought it was their worst. HA! I guess I just really love this period.

These must be posted in accordance with sleazy or balance's prior wishes, no? Some of them have been up since February

This was the article that alerted me to it.

http://dangerousminds.net/comments/how_to_destroy_angels_for_free_coil

for completists: I don't think I've seen these in that archive:

Transparent (1984, reissued in 1997)
Gold is the Metal (1987 compilation, reissued in 1996)
Love's Secret Domain (2001 remaster)
Stolen and Contaminated Songs (1992)
How to Destroy Angels remixes & re-recordings(1992)
The Angelic Conversation (1994)
Philm 1 EP (1995)
Moon's Milk Summer Solstice EP (1998)
Time Machines (1998)
20' to 2000 - ELpH Zwölf (2000)
The New Backwards (2008)
Time Machines 2 (2014)

Also, get both versions of Astral Disaster: different versions of some tracks on vinyl and CD. Black Antlers vinyl has a bonus track too.

what a great way to spend 4th of July

Replace audio with movies in MaresNest's link for a couple of live videos (and converted dvds like ANS or Colour Sound Oblivion)

Also, there appear to be more Coil recordings on the site than are present at that link. I found the Summer and Winter Solstice EPs, Time Machines, and ELpH Zwolf by using the search bar

I guess this isn't happening anymore?

http://www.brainwashed.com/bark/projects-coil.html

still really enjoying some of these odds & ends, the rarities collections and the soundtracks and that 1999 Zwolf live show...

I guess this isn't happening anymore?

That page was recently updated + first 8 of the (30-odd planned) reissues here: http://www.forcedexposure.com/Labels/THRESHOLD.ARCHIVES.UK.html

The recent issue of Backwards seems to have passed here without comment. Unlike these new releases it seems to have been an unauthorized release by former auxiliary Coil member Danny Hyde.

there have been a few unauthorised vinyl reissues recently. this 4 x lp box being the most recent - http://www.discogs.com/Coil-Unnatural-History/release/7038853

I feel like I'm a pretty big Coil fan but I am unfamiliar with most of these singles that are getting reissued with bonus stuff. Which ones are worth getting?

well I'd say "all of then", but imo the essentials are:

Panic
Hellraiser
Wrong Eye/Scope

and maybe The Snow

then them

the anal staircase > hellraiser > the wheel > panic > the snow > wrong eye. but, even wrong eye rules.

i wonder what the masses of extra material on these releases is? something about it all doesn''t quite seem right.

Yeah, it seems strange - demos and such. Of course I know The Anal Staircase (which I love) and Panic (which I've never been fond of), but I agree something seems dubious about all this extra stuff.

My favorite era is the later / Black Antlers / Ape of Naples stuff, but I pretty much love most eras of Coil unreservedly.

So....who's gonna take one for the team and buy a few of these and report back?

I already did, expect an update soon :)

Excellent! I have the Threshold Archives page on Forced Exposure page bookmarked.

Who is in charge of the estate now, a relation? Brainwashed?

hey look finally some information:

http://www.factmag.com/2015/10/14/coils-reissues-through-threshold-archives/

Update, October 14: Former Coil associate Jon Whitney has confirmed that he is organising the releases.

The Archive also stresses upfront the impossibility of an “authorized” Coil release due to the deaths of both members (John Balance died in 2004, marking the end of the project), concluding that “without Balance and Sleaz, there is no official Coil release nor will there ever be again. Nothing that bears the word ‘Coil’ is authorized, official, or sanctioned by Coil as Coil has ceased to exist.” Despite that, the detail and dedication of these releases is worth the attention of any fan.

not sure what I think abt that

I believe there have been more updates to the link Stan posted as the revive, this does look legit:

http://www.brainwashed.com/bark/projects-coil.html

If Jon's involved I'm good with it -- he'd been doing all this work to try and get things organized. Maybe the subtext here is simply that there is no final way to dot i's and cross t's. I'm really wondering now if there simply wasn't any legal provision for the estates.

I'm ordering all of them, I can't not, I'm a completist :-)

i know little of coil, but i do have 'scatology' on vinyl (due to foetus production basically).

is that not regarded as part of their classic era catalogue as i rarely see it mentioned ?

Panic (which I've never been fond of),

panic is all about its wondrous b-side

and, scatology is definitely classic.

Picked up the Backwards reissue at the local shop (where I was frankly surprised to see it). So nice to have a proper release of the New Orleans versions of "A Cold Cell" and "Fire Of the Mind," and the second half of this thing (the half that sounds the most like The New Backwards) is pretty great. But I've always preferred strange / mysterious / beautiful Coil to angry / dark / evil Coil, and some of these are a little too abrasive for me; it may indeed be the bridge between LSD and MTPinD, and I can definitely hear that, but the more NIN-sounding stuff on here (which I realize is like saying "Oasis-sounding Beatles stuff") is decidedly not my favorite Coil material. Interested to hear other opinions.

i totally agree. the abrasive tracks on backwards are probably my least favourite things they ever did. indeed, their hook up with trent reznor didn't seem to bring out the best in them as i never really loved their NIN remixes either.
