    Coil / The New Blockaders / Vortex Campaign ‎– The Melancholy Mad Tenant

    Label: Infinite Fog Productions ‎– IF-55
    Format: CD, Album, Reissue
    Country: Russia
    Released: 12 Dec 2015
    Style: Industrial, Experimental, Noise

    In 1984 VORTEX CAMPAIGN invited COIL and THE NEW BLOCKADERS to collaborate. The result, which was unofficially referred to as Dolbied, was released privately on cassette in an edition of 50. The release has since gone on to become legendary, showcasing two of the most influential groups in the scene at the early stages of their development. The Melancholy Mad Tenant is an authorized release, sanctioned by all three groups. The tracks have been professionally re-mastered and in addition to the COIL/THE NEW BLOCKADERS/VORTEX CAMPAIGN collaboration it also contains the entire VC archive, including two previously unreleased tracks. This wooden box edition hand-numbered and strictly limited to 100 copies only. 

    Reviews: ‘Historically potent reissue of some early, brutally primitive collaborations. Coil are in their early Zos Kia/Coil crossover mode generating some wild spectral energy via looped vocal trance and spooked, auroral tones while TNB generate huge boulders of cracked fuzz. The Vortex Campaign solo tracks are great examples of Equinox-era Punk-primitive electronic ritual and the whole package makes for a trip back to a wildly accelerated underground activity.’Volcanic Tongue ‘Both Coil and TNB began in the early ’80s and have become major players in their specific musical territories. The two collaborations are familiar terrain for TNB but certainly shine new light on the formative years of Coil, as this is very different to their Scatology LP released the same year. It’s nice to hear them from a different and slightly unexpected perspective.’ Vital

    Zos Kia / Coil ‎– Transparent



    Zos Kia / Coil ‎– Transparent

    Label: Cold Spring ‎– CSR230CD
    Format: CD, Album, Reissue, Remastered
    Country: UK
    Released: 09 Jan 2017
    Style: Industrial, Experimental

    ZOS KIA was formed by John Gosling (MEKON), John Balance (COIL) and Min – with guest Peter ‘Sleazy’ Christopherson (THROBBING GRISTLE). Their one and only album, Transparent, was released August 23rd 1983 in a cassette only edition on the now defunct Nekrophile label, Austria. They were the first released recordings of both COIL and ZOS KIA. It was reissued years later by COIL (Threshold House / Eskaton) in an edited edition. The entire recordings are now released on CD/vinyl for the first time and are completely remastered from the unedited tapes. Includes two previously unreleased bonus tracks by AKE (pre-ZOS KIA).

    The music on Transparent is genuinely unsettling and disturbing, with a more primal Industrial feel than the Coil album which followed; ‘Scatology’. An essential insight into the very early work of these extraordinary artists and an undeniable link between Coil and Throbbing Gristle.
    Double vinyl edition in a sumptuous gatefold sleeve with 12″ booklet of unseen images. Ltd 500 white vinyl edition for COLD SPRING mailorder only. Both editions come with download card.
    CD edition presented in a 6-panel digipak with booklet containing unseen images.

    “The Sound of Progress is vital watch for anyone interested in the esoteric counter-culture. It shows a movement that impacted so many at the time (and continues to do so via the albums that these artists released) and still resonates to this day… A great film and one that is highly recommended.” (Louder Than War)

    “It is great to see these angry young men hammering out their statements on what we may now see quite differently. Maybe the world of 1988 wasn’t that bad compared to 2016, with more and more poor people feeling dissatisfied and demanding (and getting!) strong leadership. The cold war ended and is now replaced by just coldness and love (Crass!) seems far away… there is no authority than yourself” (Vital Weekly)

    Coil – Backwards (

    2 × Vinyl, LP, Album )

    Label: Cold Spring
    Format:

    2 × Vinyl, LP, Album –

    CSR203LP

    Country: UK
    Released: 09 Oct 2015
    Style: Experimental

    After the ground-breaking release of 1990’s “Love’s Secret Domain” album, Coil were not dormant; the main project was “Backwards”, which was started in 1992, updated considerably between 1993 and 1995, and transferred in 1996 to New Orleans, where it was finished in the magic of the Nothing studios of Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails). The album saw the fruition of Jhonn Balance’s recent vocal coaching, producing haunting, passionate vocals, while reaching new heights.

    23 years after its initiation, these tracks have been beautifully preserved by Danny Hyde and are finally available in highest quality audio. Differing substantially from the later, remixed incarnation, “The New Backwards” (2008), “Backwards” contains the original versions of Coil’s much-loved tracks; ‘A Cold Cell’ and ‘Fire Of The Mind’, which have appeared on various compilations over the years, and are now presented as originally intended.

    This album is the essential bridge between “LSD” and the later “Musick To Play In The Dark” series. It is an essential conduit, to understand the journey that was taken. It was to be released… it should have been released… but because of issues with grey men it wasn’t. It is now, so enjoy. (Danny Hyde).

    CD in digipak. Comes with release card from Cold Spring only!

    Tracks: 1. Intro , 2. Backwards, 3. Amber Rain, 4. Fire Of The Green Dragon, 5. Be Careful What You Wish For, 6. Nature Is A Language, 7. Heaven’s Blade, 8. CopaCaballa, 9. Paint Me As A Dead Soul, 10. AYOR (It’s In My Blood), 11. A Cold Cell, 12. Fire Of The Mind
