Thanks for that! It's definitely growing on me. I was initially a bit put off by just how 80s a lot of the production sounds but I'm starting to hear past that now. And I was just a little concerned that I might be judging them on an album that doesn't really represent them. For some reason I thought they'd be far more extreme. More like Whitehouse. Not sure why.

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. |
