Moving Batwings from vol. 2 to vol. 1 makes vol. 1 a perfect album and vol. 2 pretty inessential imo
OK listening to vol 1 + batwings today and I am inclined to agree.
I was prompted to listen to some Coil today by going back to a bunch of Vladimir Ivokovic mixes. This one in particular might be of interest to people on this thread:

The Xen track on here is incredible, but can't find any further info about it on Discogs, not even the Les Disques De La Mort label page. Know anything about it?
Anyway, great mix, thanks!

Drew McDowall doesn't seem to have his own thread on here but I chatted with the good man recently about some of his new favorites.

No, I did try poking around a bit, but couldn't find anything apart from it being in a few other mixes. Guessing it's still forthcoming? I agree it's awesome.
If you liked this mix then definitely check out others by Ivkovic, there are a load of great ones.

Being able to buy Coil CDs in HMV in a non descript Northern town (Warrington) is an odd thing but I picked up a copy of Worship the Glitch in there last Sunday. It feels right. I want them to seep into other people's lives and their waking lives the way they have mine. Feels right to be able to walk to my flat just minutes walk from the Mersey river, past the weird sports bar where the owner first played me early Tangerine Dream to listen to it. Feels like the sort of thing that'd make Geff and Sleazy happy.

A hell of a thing. Will be deep diving a bit more into that soon.

Ah this is great. Thanks !

Just in time for winter! Perfect.
A cursory look reveals no actual audio, though, just information, reviews and photos - or am I missing it?
Either way, this is great. Thank you!

You know which release is among their most perfect material and slightly lacking exposure for new fans ? The Remote Viewer. The one with five tracks. It may have displaced The Ape, Horse and MtpitD1 as my definite favorite.
― Nabozo, Sunday, 30 December 2018 13:05 (five years ago) link
Also, random anecdote: one night once, I thought I saw a ghost by my open window as I was listening very attentively to A White Rainbow. Whatever optical illusion was at work made me talk to it, to see if I'd get any answer.
― Nabozo, Sunday, 30 December 2018 13:20 (five years ago) link
check out this one too, I always think it fits well with The Remote Viewer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moons_Milk_(In_Four_Phases)_Bonus_Disc

Black Antlers fits the bill here too, I think

BTW, don't ignore the 'LCA Studio Coil Projects' section of the archive -- four collections of unreleased demos, with (according to them) no duplication with the bonus tracks from the reissues three years back.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 30 December 2018 17:06 (five years ago) link
thanks for pointing that out!
― StanM, Sunday, 30 December 2018 17:22 (five years ago) link
yep, that's the real meat here (at least, so far)

looks like a regular release:

Anyway I do think it's interesting how Hyde and McDowall are essentially reclaiming the mid 90's legacy in different ways. (The latter strictly via specific reissues, granted.)

Also, Hyde allegedly has *another* archival release coming, an expanded version of The Gay Man's Guide To Safer Sex tracks:
https://www.discogs.com/Coil-The-Gay-Mans-Guide-To-Safer-Sex-2/release/13504410
Per a note appended:
Hello everyone, just to reassure you, this is an official release, licensed from Danny Hyde, released with his blessing, with HQ files + a CD version for those who like it like that. We can't wait for this to come out, when we get a release date we'll let you know. Thanks ! Ed @ Musique Pour La Danse

I'm not sure whether a new Coil release being "licensed from Danny Hyde" necessarily makes it official at this point. Who knows where the rights lie.

Thought it was discussed upthread but no, at this point nothing is official that gets newly released or reissued. It’s all essentially a bootleg one way or another because there’s no central estate.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 21 April 2019 13:01 (five years ago) link
Exactly so, which is why I was surprised that you quoted that discogs note without comment.
― the word dog doesn't bark (anagram), Sunday, 21 April 2019 13:09 (five years ago) link
*shrug* I just read it as authorized by Danny Hyde. Maybe he’s trying to leave Cold Spring behind.

Man there really is a new flood on, here's another live 'authorized bootleg' via Soleilmoon:
https://www.soleilmoon.com/shop/coil-porto/
“Porto” is the only authorized bootleg live recording of a Coil live performance.Coil performed on 21 June 2003 at the Casa da Música Festival in Porto, Portugal. Present on stage that night were Peter Christopherson, Ossian Brown and Thighpaulsandra. Jhonn Balance was not part of the lineup, possibly due to his drug and alcohol addictions. Because of his absence the music on this recording is entirely instrumental. The show was also notable for being Ossian’s last appearance with Coil.This edition is manufactured and released in Portugal, and is distributed in North America by Soleilmoon. Royalties will be paid to the remaining artists involved in the concert.Tracklist1. Blue Rats (18:14)2. Triple Sun (12:56)3. Radio Westin (13:32)4. Drip Drop (10:04)5. The First Five Minutes After Death (11:24)
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 12 May 2019 17:38 (four years ago) link
interesting, as far as I can recall that show has always been MP3-sourced (even the CDRs), wonder if this is an improvement

Another 8 Threshold Archive CDs
https://www.soleilmoon.com/shop/threshold-archives-series-2/
I can see Restitution of decayed intelligence, blue, and I think moons milk? No track listings though.
The CDs are pretty cheap but postage to the UK is more expensive than the discs so I’m going to hold off ordering for now
― I am using your worlds, Tuesday, 14 May 2019 20:29 (four years ago) link
thanks for the heads up there, I really appreciate it
― Emperor Tonetta Ketchup (sleeve), Tuesday, 14 May 2019 20:37 (four years ago) link
(guessing from L-R and top-bottom that these are Moon's Milk, Blue, Worship The Glitch, Protection, Foxtrot, Astral Disaster, Porto, and Restitution)
― Emperor Tonetta Ketchup (sleeve), Tuesday, 14 May 2019 20:40 (four years ago) link
I had protection on repeat earlier this week before I heard about this, no idea what the cover art looked like, so if there is a whole calf related stuff I’m stoked
But stoked for everything really
― I am using your worlds, Tuesday, 14 May 2019 20:48 (four years ago) link
*calf = cd of
whole calf seems highly coil-appropriate
― valet doberman (Jon not Jon), Tuesday, 14 May 2019 20:50 (four years ago) link
yeah Protection is the grey cubist thing on the top right - that's the 10" but there's also a CD with different material
I thought the one 3rd from left on bottom was Porto but that's a separate release as Ned noted the other day, not sure what this one is
― Emperor Tonetta Ketchup (sleeve), Tuesday, 14 May 2019 20:50 (four years ago) link
All kinda crazy clearing decks happening here.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 14 May 2019 20:55 (four years ago) link
3rd from the left on the bottom looks like the bonus disc from moons milk iirc

Don't understand why these aren't being sold separately, seems like a strange choice to bundle them like this
― Paul Ponzi, Wednesday, 15 May 2019 13:28 (four years ago) link
last time it was a hassle to track them all down, this is much easier (and cheaper)
maybe they made more this time? let's hope.
are the Threshold Archive series discs on the archive.org site? I know all the official stuff is there but haven't checked in a while
― Emperor Tonetta Ketchup (sleeve), Wednesday, 15 May 2019 13:53 (four years ago) link

Given the bundles offered, seems like. Anyway placed my order for that and Porto this morning.
