Another band my girlfriend showed me, Coil was a mind warping, horizon stretching industrial music project and honestly... they were undescribable. In my gal`s own words, "you have to listen to it with an open mind to understand its brilliance."
And its true!
Its incredibly atmospheric, dark, thought provoking, artistic, and creepy at times music. It can be a little upsetting to listen too at times, with it`s unsettling ambience and use of sounds/textures. It can sound like nothing and everything at the same time, a million ideas and sounds throbbing into your skull tempered with the sweet reprieve of silence. This is the kind of music that is a true statement, something dragged up from the dephs of someones soul, music that is "experianced" moreso then listened to, best heard with darkness and candles. I personally use it to help me sleep, morbid as that may seem!
My jumping stone into Coil was actually a track off of the live album "...And the Ambulance Died in His Arms." I heard it with my eyes closed, while travelling on a train. The feeling of the train hurtling forward, the environment of sound that consumed me... it was amazing! This, however, is a compilation of Coil`s earlier work. It`s an amazing listen. Stay free!
