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)

sleeve, Wednesday, 4 November 2015 19:09 (eight years ago) link

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 They were originally made up from the same samples as HTDA and this one new long track does indeed look more like the first three tracks from the original TAC record with some bits in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.

RIP Jhonn, ten long years without your voice.

sleeve, Friday, 13 November 2015 16:21 (eight years ago) link

Amazon order canceled. I expected that, I guess.

Wimmels, Friday, 13 November 2015 21:06 (eight years ago) link

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.

Robert Adam Gilmour, Friday, 13 November 2015 21:11 (eight years ago) link

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.

Doran, Friday, 13 November 2015 21:22 (eight years ago) link

xps ELEVEN years

sorry Doran, I got delayed but the post was typed I promise ;)

sleeve, Friday, 13 November 2015 21:24 (eight years ago) link

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.

Doran, Friday, 13 November 2015 21:34 (eight years ago) link

yep, definitely

sleeve, Friday, 13 November 2015 21:38 (eight years ago) link

Omfg cannot wait. Will there be an ebook as well as a print one?

banned on ixlor (Jon not Jon), Friday, 13 November 2015 21:47 (eight years ago) link

No idea but I'll ask Strange Attractor's Arch Drude and report back next week.

Doran, Friday, 13 November 2015 21:51 (eight years ago) link

StanM, Monday, 16 November 2015 17:23 (eight years ago) link

Stir: well, there is the paperback as mentioned.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 16 November 2015 17:58 (eight years ago) link

Amazon order canceled. I expected that, I guess.

― Wimmels, Friday, November 13, 2015 3:06 PM

Hmmm, mine (in the US, for 6 of the discs) has not. Still no shipping date, though.

by the light of the burning Citroën, Monday, 16 November 2015 18:01 (eight years ago) link

i know, but i want to read the a separate 120-page A5 zine with all new, exclusive interviews and imagery from more provocateurs. i thought about it for about 30 seconds and then hit the paypal button anyway.

Anybody see this?

www.amazon.com/Twilight-Language-Compendium-World-Coil/dp/0990970086/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1447700399&sr=8-5&keywords=england%27s+hidden+reverse

Wimmels, Monday, 16 November 2015 19:00 (eight years ago) link

I went through the exact same thing as stirmonster.

suffeeciant attreebution (aldo), Monday, 16 November 2015 19:10 (eight years ago) link

yeah, me too. + also thanks, Wimmels! (also on Amazon.co.uk for UK shipping etc)

StanM, Monday, 16 November 2015 19:22 (eight years ago) link

what's the current state of play re: thighpaulsandra is the devil* btw

*best tunes, etc

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.

stirmonster, Monday, 16 November 2015 22:11 (eight years ago) link

Yeah I caught that myself. Slips, we all have 'em.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 16 November 2015 22:14 (eight years ago) link

indeed we do!

stirmonster, Monday, 16 November 2015 22:24 (eight years ago) link

Damn it!

In slightly less vexing news, EHR looks set to get an e-book edition at some point, so Kindle owners can celebrate.

Rumors about a possible next batch of release here, maybe a hoax, maybe not

StanM, Thursday, 19 November 2015 19:30 (eight years ago) link

bullmoose.com had all 10 listed and were taking pre-orders, but sent out an email today saying the label has cancelled
them...which I figured, but it was worth a shot....makes me wonder if those listed will actually be the next batch released...time will tell
this is what they had listed

This whole thing is getting ridiculous

If this is supposed to be funny, I'm not laughing
