Re: COIL

The reference was for a vinyl edition, not a CD. But is it only a problem with the vinyl, then? Just bad pressings, or do all their releases sound poor? Just because one person owns a record that skips does not mean a label's entire output sounds bad. True, but quality control is a real thing. I wo...

Re: Hijokaidan YOLO Thread

Not to change the subject with the third post, but your comment makes me think of The Gerogerigegege---a group that, on the one hand, seems so important, yet is, on the other, seemingly neglected in western distros/reissue labels. I guess, overall, it is another annoying reminded of just how niche ...

Re: COIL

Honestly, I am only interested in Coil related stuff they have released and don't own anything else physical they've done for them (just downloaded them). The rest of the Dais label is unbelievably boring. Kind of frustrating to see Coil mashed up against some shitty EBM band.... It certainly seeme...

Re: Cut Up

So I just got back from buying 20 random/weird tapes from the 19 cent bin at my local record store with the goal of creating real cut-ups. (I am most excited about the home-dubbed tape labeled "real life conversations," whatever that means.) Any recommendations on tape splicing materials?

Re: COIL

What is the deal with reissues on, say, Dais Records? The vinyl pressing for "Music to Play in the Dark Vol. 1" is horrible quality, fyi. My copy skips so regularly. I remember when they announced this, they had like 782839827481931 color variations so I bet they just flooded the plant wi...

Re: Neofolk

That sounds really cool. I take it that the author's opinions are not good ones generally? That's pretty subjective, they're fine opinions honestly. I agree with him and disagree with him. He just comes off as pretentious at times. It happens infrequently enough to not really detract from the book ...

Re: COIL

I would recommend the film Muscle by Hisayasu Satô if you haven't seen it. Late 80s pink film involving hard-bodied sadomasochistic gay men working for a muscle magazine that is basically one giant homage to Pasolini and features Coil on the soundtrack (predominantly "The First Five Minutes Af...

Just yesterday my copy of the Zos Kia/Coil Transparent album came in the mail. I had been skimming various Coil releases as I waited for it to arrive, and I would like to learn more. What are your favorite releases and tracks? Can anyone direct me towards particularly good interviews with members? S...

Thank you very much for this! I think Bjork sings on one track in Island as well. It reminds me also that England's Hidden Reverse book for some more in-depth information on these guys. Speaking of it, has anyone read that book? Worth it? I can't recommend this book enough. I'm almost finished it, ...

Re: Neofolk

Great, great book. I just got the new edition so I'll be going in for a re-read soon. I don't remember being too let down by any of it, but I'll see how it feels this time around (maybe the expanded parts fill some of that mentioned Coil/NWW void). There are also plenty of good early Whitehouse tid...

Re: Neofolk

The C93 hill can seem insurmountable, but there are more or less specific eras one can focus on. As Natalia mentioned, Thunder Perfect Mind (1992) may be the project's magnum opus and set the trajectory that is still being followed through to today. I tend to stop at Black Ships Ate the Sky (2006),...

I haven't been able to get into the early industrial/loops material, but I would like to spend more time with it because I am a fan of Nurse With Wound (another semi-recent discovery for me), but the neofolk stuff has been more or less hit and miss ( Thunder Perfect Mind is fantastic, but I find my...
