Printed on sleeve: "The only group I've heard on disc, whose records I've taken off because they made my bowels churn." - Clive Barker, Director of Hellraiser.

The spine has the text the consequences of raising hell…

Reviews & Discussion

Review by Sir_Real Dec 15, 2004 (edited over 4 years ago)
Coil were approached to compose the soundtrack for Hellraiser, the result was apparently the only record Clive Barker had ever heard that he had to turn off because it 'made his bowels churn'. Jessie! Surely that would be the desired effect for a good Hellraiser soundtrack...
This is seriously good stuff, and the advert shorts on the B-side are paradoxical fun as well...
