Coil s/d c/d etc

thanks. i had better start saving.

there's also this book, which I don't think has been mentioned here before:

https://www.timeless-shop.com/product/the-cupboard-under-the-stars-standard-edition/

there were a slew of "special editions" but of course those are long since sold out

Anywhere a non-subscribing pleb can pre-order the upcoming JB box? (I also don't use Facebook but I sub to the VOD newsletter)

Pre-orders are not being taken anywhere at the moment. As noted above you can try your luck when it goes on sale direct at the VOD website but don't hang about. I wouldn't be surprised if a few copies go up for general sale, I've bought a few boxes from VOD before but have no interest in this one so the chances are you'll get one.

Listening to them for the first time (Music to play in the Dark 2). A touch underwhelming but will try a couple of other ones.

I have a slight preference for MTPITD1 over the second one but they had so many styles you're sure to find something you like. Most people would probably point to Horse Rotorvator as their best album.

Cheers, will try that one

personally i'd say that ape of naples is their most accessible (though that's a relative term ofc). depends what kind of stuff you're normally into really

first coil album i ever listened to was the new backwards i think, i remember being underwhelmed and didn't bother with them for another year or so

Moons Milk LP-box shipped today from Bleep.

hope postie brings it tomorrow.

Mine is supposed to arrive today. Very excited

mine was too but didn't. hopefully tomorrow.

any early reactions to this reissue? Mine arrived but I have not been in the right headspace to listen, an excuse that may be more acceptable when discussing Coil than perhaps any other band!

i have not checked the reissue yet to see how the quality is either. will maybe have some amethyst deceivers time later this week.

Digital hi res files are good, a little louder than before, but not painfully brickwalled. I had a version with 3 tracks in part 5, so there’s a track I haven’t heard before (Bankside), and it’s fantastic. (But I think it was included on the previous reissue as well.)

Also, a live version of Amethyst Deceivers is still tacked on to A Warning from the Sun as a hidden track (including minutes silence), so the first thing I did with the digital download is to split them and move Deceivers to the very end.

Bottom line: worth getting for Bankside, but not a sonic improvement (nor did it need to be).

yep Bankside was added to the Threshold Archives CD of the Moon's Milk bonus disc, glad they added it here too

Today I attended the second funeral I've been to where Coil's "Going Up" was played. It was played in its entirety while everyone sat in quiet contemplation. It was one of the most emotional few minutes of my entire life and the most intense (but beautiful) funeral experence I've ever known. Almost indescribable!

Wow. Remarkable indeed!
