Coil ‎– Horse Rotorvator

If anyone would be willing to xerox or photocopy the insert for me I would really appreciate it. Or send me a high resolution scan so I can make one myself. My copy is missing the insert. Will compensate you for your efforts. PM me.

This may seem like an odd question since I own this edition, but can anyone comment on surface noise?
Mine got a bit of tiny hairline scratches you cant really feel with your fingernail and im wondering if thats causing that (not planning on selling and im luckily perfectly ok if thats the case, so no problem if it is the case) or the pressing is just noisy in general

This officially sanctioned 2001 remaster of Coil’s dark, classic, timeless masterpiece suffers horribly from major compression and clipping issues, rendering it far inferior to the original 1988 UK pressing.

Buy the 1988 CD version, not this abortion.

The definitive pressing of this dark, classic, timeless masterpiece.

Clearly does not suffer from clipping and compression issues like the horrid 2001 remaster. This is the only CD copy worth owning of this landmark release.

A little out of tune againts of the original release, is really anoying that "The first minutes after death" appears in the back cover but doesn't in the lp instead, so the only way to enjoy this piece of art called "Horse Rotorvator" is looking for the original pressing besides of these bootlegs.

i've just received this crap today ; recordvox have to burn in hell .

Will idiots please realise that this is supposed to be reviews of the actual music and not how annoyed they are that they stupidly bought a bootleg LP from another idiot. Don't buy them. Buy the original issues, that's why its all listed. I realise it is thoughtful to make people aware of the quality but that's to be expected and all you have to say is don't buy this its shit. Sellers don't care what they sell and complaining about them on here wont do anything.
The album is awesome by the way

sincerely I'm not that much satisfied of the sound quality...

In the summer when I was sixteen, I saw Pasolini's film Salo, which, after 25 years, had finally received BBFC certification, allowing it to be shown here in the UK. As I sat in the dimly gaslit Edwardian theatre, waiting for the film to start, I listened to the most incredible baroque-like music infused with an industrial sensibility. A sort of poetic perversity. I'd never heard anything like it and, sitting through one of the most intense film experiences of my life, I couldn't help but keep wondering what I'd heard. It was the perfect marriage to the film's detached observation of the worst of human capabilities, with both explicitly referencing Dante's Inferno. After the film, I found out it was an album called Horse Rotorvator, which the projectionist had put on.

On that day Coil became my new favourite band. Although I cannot say I have an album of theirs I like the most, this is certainly one of their most grabbing works, dark but 'musical' compared to some of their other output. Here, their groundbreaking accomplishment is furnished with lyrics that straddle a range of themes, incorporating mythology and literary references along the way. It stands out as the cutting edge of its time and remains a beautiful achievement. Years after my cinema visit, I saw them play at Hackney's Ocean Club, in 2004, in what turned out to be their penultimate gig. Some time following that, I met a few people who knew Sleazy and Jhon - (specifically, Stephen Thrower's side of the social scene) - and what they've said about the duo has reinforced my understanding that they were genuinely troubled individuals. With Sleazy having made a ton of money from advertising and his video work, the pair always looked to rope in other males into their curious private world of hard substances and sex. Let's not forget that following Jhon's booze-induced death, Sleazy went on to live in southeast Asia, surrounded by boys...
