Reviews
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.
Edited 11 years agoThe second "real" studio album of these exceptional musicians (when you think of Coil, do you think of music?) represents a mature work in every way. The opener, "Anal Staircase", also available in a slightly different version on a 12'', is already such an emotionally dense work that inevitable images arise in the listeners mind - no mater how you would describe this images, the use of the adjective "beautiful" probably depends on the judgment of individuals. But the consistent break with existing listening habits is why Coil gathered a small but tight-knit community around them. Completists should note that the two B-side tracks of the aforementioned 12" ("Ravenous", and "Blood From the Air" ) are included on this CD (as opposed to the vinyl edition). Without commenting the whole tracklist, the track "Babylero" should be pointed out, which is a sound collage based on a Spanish folk song that continues to drive the concept of "mental images in the head" yet further. As on their debut album (at least the CD edition) this one also includes a song-cover, this time Leonard Cohen's "Who by Fire", which (imho) is inferior to the depressing atmosphere of their "Tainted Love" cover.
But the most fascinating thing about this album is, however, its artistic unity - and that despite the fact that the mentioned "bonus tracks" are not a supplement placed at the end of the CD, but well integrated into the overall concept. With its different view angles musically and lyrically describing the depths of the human soul this album represents a work of a different kind clearly influenced by classic magic(k) and its further development.
Please note that this is by now the only authorized issue of this album. Hopefully it will be reissued by Threshold House soon.
