Ooh, ooh! My turn! I'm indifferent.

i'll say this: it perfectly met my expectations, as opposed to, say, the caustic window LP, which dipped far below my expectations. i know the two aren't really related, but they're both sort of "legacy" items and that's where i draw the comparison.

I'm quite content to not like it. It's at least very different to TM1 which is good, I think: variety is the spice of life. Perhaps it takes a left-turn at the midway point, I haven't found out yet

I'm amazed at how much content is still showing up (re: Electric Sewer Age, TMII). I'm hoping that one day we'll get access to the video archive he was preparing for us.

While it's not exactly Coil, it is Danny Hyde and Peter Christopherson (and John Deek), so I figure that counts.
Here's my review of Electric Sewer Age's Bad White Corpuscle.

I'm glad they're with someone that will really enjoy them!
If anyone is looking for the solstice/equinox CDs, I have those as well. Love them, but I just moved and have a lot of bills to pay.

Loves Secret Domain from 1988 is probably my favourite Coil recording. its sounds like nothing else, just sounds so cool, effortlessly terrifying, a lot of those industrial English bands from the 80s were all great. i think Coils aim was to send the listener into a state of mania. its a very disorientating listen, sounds like they raided a chemists lab and did the weirdest drugs imaginable they could find and then recorded under the influence. Sounds genuinely dangerous at points. Titan Arch is epic. Coil sounded like nothing else, they were like their own genre.

...from 1991?

Recently dug out my Sansa Fuze full of Coil stuff and enjoyed some Musik To Play In The Dark. Also started "watching" hell raiser 2 for some reason and enjoying the odd Coil cue. Need to give E.S.A. a try.

Multitrack cassettes of Horse Rotorvator surface on Ebay.
And on that note, are there any archives of Peter's vlogs? I can only find his Final Transmission. I tried archive.org but couldn't find anything.

The cassettes were sold for £4,300.00.

Just watched this quickie docu about Rasputin.. and who should appear in the credits for the music? Yep
edit - apparently there's a whole series called "masters of darkness" all with Coil s/t - I had no idea

latest updated about TMII
Hi Maxwell,
Thanks for getting in touch, and apologies again for the continued delays regarding Time Machines II. We have had to find a new manufacturer for the replacement USBs due to repeated mistakes made by the manufacturer of the originals, but the good news is that they are nearly ready and should be with you in the not-too-distant future!
Once again, we're extremely sorry for the delays related to this release, we hope you can appreciate that it's due to us wanting to deliver the complete, final product to you. If you have any questions in the meantime please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Kind regards,
Tyrone @ Greedbag on behalf of
Threshold House

totally forgot to post that i finally got my replacement USB drive right before x-mas. i haven't had a chance to listen to the proper first track, yet, but i'll be doing that probably tomorrow.
feel free to let me know if you'd like to hear the album!

Recently moved to the West-Country, swung by Coil's old HQ by the sea, took a couple of pictures if anyone's interested. Got there and realised it's now a care home, so didn't want to spook anyone out by going right in, will phone ahead and see if I can arrange a chance to take some better pictures
Throbbing Member
That's awesome. You should photograph those garage murals individually from straight angles with a good camera.
Touching to see these pictures... even with fart sounds.

yeah this is a case of to be continued I think, I'll call the place and ask if I can take some pics with my dslr - It's a care home now, don't want to spook the elders or get the cops called on me

Scanner did a mix for the new industrial documentary and it features a hitherto unreleased scanner/coil collaboration http://thequietus.com/articles/15511...rban-decay-mix
The other playlists look pretty good too

Is this breaking news? I'm not a Coil fan but just got the email from Cold Spring -
http://thequietus.com/articles/18599...coil-backwards
she/her/hers
yeah, that's kind of big news. never really thought this would happen, honestly. i'm glad about it, but i swear, if they fuck up the pressing like they did with Recoiled, i am going to be SO MAD.
edit: also, it seems to be more in line with "the new backwards" (in terms of tracks) and stuff that made it onto "the ape of naples" than the original backwards demo.
demo tracklist:
- "Heaven's Blade" – 7:23
- "Wir-Click-Wir" – 6:21
- "Elves" – 3:10
- "Simenon" – 3:49
- "In My Blood" – 3:52
- "Spastiche" – 3:09
- "Crumb Time" – 4:33
- "March Of Time" – 6:03
the new backwards tracklist:
- "Careful What You Wish For" - 9:06
- "AYOR" - 7:40
- "Nature Is A Language" - 8:00
- "Fire Of The Green Dragon" - 7:54
- "Algerian Basses" - 5:02
- "Copacaballa" - 6:50
- "Paint Me As A Dead Soul" - 6:31
- "Backwards" - 5:22
- "Princess Margaret's Man In The D'jamalfna" - 8:45
this release's tracklist:
1. Intro
2. Backwards
3. Amber Rain
4. Fire Of The Green Dragon
5. Be Careful What You Wish For
6. Nature Is A Language
7. Heaven’s Blade
8. CopaCaballa
9. Paint Me As A Dead Soul
10. AYOR (It’s In My Blood)
11. A Cold Cell
12. Fire Of The Mind
so i'm pretty confused.

So there are about 3 different versions of The New Backwards?..
This material was recorded before they went to Trents place in New Orleans to rework the material..?
Another thing about Coil..i been getting into an obscure little EP they did loads..its called Protection under the name Coil vs Elph. Came out in 1995.
Incredibly dark but really cinematic some of its similar to the work they did on the Hellraiser compilation of theirs.
They had a very big discography..keep finding loads of stuff i missed.

protection is great! they did a lot of interesting stuff during that period.

Peter Christopherson: The Million Dollar Altar (interview on Brainwashed)
Very interesting interview from 2006 about The Ape Of Naples/Backwards, and the journey a lot of the music went through. Seems to make a little more sense with the "new" tracklist popping up.
@Exocet If you haven't checked out the Coil vs. ELpH LP, Worship The Glitch, it's worth your time.

Oh man. I was recently bugging Danny about a version of Heaven's Blade that he had put on an unlisted YouTube video, and he basically said "You won't have to wait long."
I would love to know the lineage of these tracks. Are these the versions produced at Nothing Studios? I mean, I guess I should maybe ask Danny huh.
