'Horse Rotorvator' is a Coil classic!
"The Anal Staircase" is probably the best opening track to any Coil album, spawning this
EP
For my money, John Balance's voice sounds the best on this release. The album is also full of oddities that grow on you with every listen.
Scatology and Loves Secret Domain (LSD) are probably the other two most popular Coil proper releases......How To Destroy Angels and The Unreleased Themes From Hellraiser are both instrumental albums that are not to be skipped!
You're correct in assuming that Coil has changed it's direction over time......and in my opinion, 'Horse Rotorvator' is a great place to start.

I wonder if I've got the 'wrong' album as an introduction to them. |
