"feel the moon's pull". Love that bit. Very simple and immediate way to get a shift in consciousness. I find coil psychoactive in a way that no other music is for me

On the daftness in coil theme , this is a good example:
On the one hand it's a 40 year old bloke shrieking "I am a salamander!" and it's completely ridiculous
On the other hand their total commitment to it means that it's magnificent and magical and I start to believe that yep may be I am witnessing a man transmute into a salamander

apocryphal tales are often the best ones.
love how other boxers select intro music to pump themselves up, whereas Tyson's people selected music designed to instill dread in his opponent.

I was mad into them from about 1986/7 but didn't keep up with things after "Stolen and Contaminated" in 1992. Only saw them live once: https://www.uncarved.org/blog/2004/07/coil-ocean-july-25th-2004/
I think going off them coincided with me generally falling out of love with all things Industrial and getting into better music with better values. But since then I've had a chance to re-evaluate I guess and can see good and the bad. They were musically one of the best things to come out of that world I think and actually produced sounds that walked the walk as well as talking the talk in terms of altered states / magick etc. Their rave experiments are obviously not rave at all but are credible in their own right really (which can't be said of many of the contemporaries) and you can see why Autechre and people liked them.
I liked Balance the few times I met him - I think maybe he could still remember what it was like to be a star struck intense young man on mission and seemed quite patient with people - although I guess that was based on a reverence coming the other way in many cases so not exactly difficult to be benign and not a complete dick.
One of the things that was good about them when I liked them was that they had a relatively slim output compared to TG and PTV. Clearly that went out of the window(pane) later on and especially now that Balance and Sleazy aren't around any more. Pay your respects to the vultures...

Full of ideas, shapeshifters, yet distinct. The 90's offer a golden era if you're that way inclined. Balance was a good media tease, except the music could top it all. The ELpH and BLD works are genius imho. They occupied that intersectional ground where some Two Lone Swordsmen material operated. Seeing that pairing together while writing it, you wonder if they could've worked (on paper) as a collaboration. Coil could swing too
Was this Jarman or CW Evans doing the vid? It's unnerving regardless
There's a lot of worthwhile listening to be had with the likes of TSP, Cyclobe and Unica Zurn's projects, these are among a stupidly long car playlist

happy hardcore is good for this though, it's so extremely euphoric it becomes the real melancholic soul of sharon from essex.

That quote about the vultures. There is at least one other Coil book in the offing too.
