i have got to say it in a way blows my mind that someone could have found Coil without knowing Throbbing Gristle/Psychic TV before hand....very interesting
i would have to agree that for an overall album and an excellent perfect understanding of what Coil was (so much more than just music) the best place to start is with Horse Rotorvator....although i must admit that these days i prefer their later "Moon Musick" days
there simply is not a bad track on Horse Rotorvator examples
and my personally favorite song by the band.....and possibly one of my all time favorite songs.....certainly when considering lyrics
i mean does it get more bone chilling than
"a mind like a cemetery
where the corpses
are turning
where the bodies
twist deep
in the frozen grip
of a dreamless sleep"
or
"He says, "Death
he is my friend
He promised me
a quick end".
Says, "The world is
in pain
and should be
put down
and God is a sadist
and that he knows it"
i highly suggest Coil for anybody who has ever been interested in the effects of psychedelics on the mind(s) where music is concerned, anybody who has ever had interest in Thelemic gnostic ideals and practices, or anybody who has ever wondered about the concept of sound and music as a way to harness and control sexual energy....in this case specifically male energy
