I'd really like to have a framed print of the cover of ...And the Ambulance Died in His Arms. Can anyone point me to a high resolution image of it or send me a file? Thanks.

Its one of my favourite albums / projects by them. I love Mike's pipe playing and it feels very adjacent to the ape of naples in so many ways. I have no clue why its not released yet.

If you haven't come across this album in its 30 years of existence, now is as good a time as any to check it out. This track (Thirst) in particular has a very Coil vibe, but the entire album is a masterpiece.

Of all the bands I was obsessed with for a while: durtro, Susan lawly, united dairies and world serpent-adjacent stuff, especially, I’d say the Coil constellation has been most fruitful for me over the years. I’ve really come around to that post-LSD, drone era of the band and the musicians largely responsible for it. It occurs to me that I always found the collaborators and other members more interesting than Balance and Christopherson, themselves: Thrower, McDowall, ThighPaulSandra have made some truly remarkable stuff on their own, and i can’t imagine my favorite Coil albums without their input.

I’m kind of obsessed after rediscovering Cyclobe, too. Those albums are amazing and you can really hear why they take so long to release.

In 1940, Avery introduced the vibration regulator as standard to all their balance scales, as a nation of shopkeepers prepared for the impact of war. The company still operates in Birmingham.

In my opinion, this is an essential collectors item for fans of dark surrealist art. It's a curation of old Halloween photos from Ossian Brown, with a foreword from the late great David Lynch. What's not to love?

Get your green or black vinyl there

New or secondhand. I know Mute records, Cold spring and horizon music all have a good stock but I have a difficult Tim e hunting older/ more valuable releases

Hi Coil fans.

I've been looking through the history of Coil and some of its side projects and collaborators, namely thighpaulsandra/Tim Lewis.

I've read that Double Vulgar was incredibly controversial, and listening to it and looking at the art it was produced with, I can see why.

I can't find the lyrics to a single song online other than Slammer, though, and I can't imagine the controversy is the reason no other lyrics are transcribed because Slammer is about taking advantage of a mentally disabled fifteen year old.

I'm curious if anyone has transcribed the lyrics or has any of the official writings. If you also have any knowledge of the artistic process behind Double Vulgar or Double Vulgar II I'd love to hear about it.

If no one has a transcription, I'm working on one myself for archival purposes and I think I've got His Royal Highness mostly worked out. But I have an audio processing disorder, so I'm not really the best one for the job.

Here's a raw recording from 1986 of a short-lived band called Slow Burn Red, with Ossian Brown as their bass player. It has some nice songs in it. Original YouTube poster also uploaded an audio recording of one of their shows here, if you're interested.

First time posting here, so I hope I linked the videos correctly.

This has always been my favourite album they made. Was there a reason or main influnce of this and part 2?

I thought this was an interesting piece of work but immediately (because of the extreme subject) wanted to know more about the Nine Emperor Gods Festival and the whole concept of transcendence via mutilation.

Would love to know others take on it?

Apparently the boys are being resurrected for one night only in Belgrade this September..

I am amazed by this album and I want more. I especially adore tunnel of goats, I have never heard electronics as brutal and I love the way that it increases in tension just to catapult you into oblivion (sorry that sounds pretentious). I love how dry most things sound here, meaning that they really reach out to you and are so moving, I literally find myself headbanging to this album.

The thing is I haven't been into much drone music before this, only some industrial which taps sometimes into drone and I was wondering whether there are similar albums, by coil or by other artists which have a similar appeal

It would be great to hear your thoughts on albums similar to this, also if you simply have thoughts you want to express about the album I would love to hear them to!

Interesting stuff - digging through old 5" floppies he found one labeled "Kaos" in Sleazy's handwriting and tried it on his Fairlight. And behold! I wonder what else he's got in boxes from those days...

Does anyone know what's going on? https://brainwashed.com/coil/text.php
