Review by thezovietdada Feb 28, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
A beautiful EP that truly captures the atmosphere of life and luminousness of summer. One of the main reasons I prefer Coil's late 90s work over their earlier stuff. An excellent Balance (heheheh) of the organic and electronic, and Coil's omnipresent atmosphere of the alien in the familiar. W. Breeze's contributions are most effective and push the humid organic electronics over into the realm of space and beauty. I do believe the last track detracts from the overall feel of the EP, it's kind of a shocker, nevertheless it is a decent song which fits well with the summer theme.
