Scat Attack


Coil - Scatology
Originally released as a vinyl album on  Force & Form Records (FFK 1) in 1984. Recreated here from a compact disc reissue. I've always thought John Balance and Peter Christopherson did a better job of developing the original concepts behind Psychic TV as Coil, than GPO did with his own ever-expanding band of merry followers. Many of us got to know Coil through the powerful Panic/Tainted Love single, the mix of industrial rhythms, screeching agony, (neo)folk and ethereal, occasionally melodic instrumentals would relax you one minute and then turn you inside out the very next. Gut wrenching stuff ...file under Uneasy Listening.

    This might be an appropriate time (and place) to share a PDF of "England's Hidden Reverse", a well-written history of Coil, NWW and Current 93. Unfortunately, I don't have the CD that accompanied the book, which was published in 1993.

    Thank you Yonder for "England's Hidden Reverse". Do you happen to have "Wreckers Of Civilisation" too?

    For me COIL was more consistantly interesting than TG or anything else TG related. Scatology was the start of it and they morphed and experimented till the end.

    A-hahaha, you got me; I was expecting Love's Secret Domain and/or Windowpane. This definitely appreciated.
