Coil

My Mum worked at the SOAS students union in the 1980s and ended up in a dispute with them, which meant that me and my sister ended up sitting at the back of a tribunal for two days or something.

it was brilliant. spent all the student funding* on travelling, then spent the year in the library reading up on all the places i'd visited

you studied anthropology, in other words

i did see edward said

i don't think you're allowed to graduate from SOAS without this experience are you?

Prefer this rendition, it has more dissonance, bounce and trance state potential

i never got into coil but i feel like i could fall into them right now

I looked up the heaviest metal albums ever recently and this one came up a lot



Which confused me about what heavy metal is.

it's alright this but a bit samey

@Benny B These are my favs,

that careful what you wish for is pretty lush, very early autechry but with the weird vox at the end to tip it into darkness

Maybe try Musick to Play in the Dark but go the full hog and play it in the actual dark, just get comfy with headphones/speakers and press play

this is extremely sinister in parts

This one's really Autechre. There's an upload claiming to be an AE remix of it too, but don't think it actually is.

I just don't think those images are very good? I'd consider a print of some of the LP artwork maybe but not that. Who has photos of gigs on their walls, eh?

Forgot to mention that I enjoyed that Coil zine - a mixed bag but all the better for it. The Val Denham piece and the one about the Horse Rotorvator cover were really good.

Zine is now in the safe hands of @STN

The other Coil book I mentioned upthread is due out April next year apparently.

Yeah, I'm not interested in those prints in the slightest! I was just shocked at the prices...

Does anyone have any opinions on the best late period Coil project which has songs on it? I love Black Antlers and Music to Play in the Dark. Are there any albums as good as those? I would love to hear it. I'm talking albums with songs, not long drone-style things (which I also like but still)

the best one is the one of him reading a book

they are sort of ridiculous outfits I can imagine Peter Gabriel contemplating wearing onstage if he was still in Genesis
