Coil / The New Blockaders / Vortex Campaign - Coil / The New Blockaders / Vortex Campaign
aka The Melancholy Mad Tenant

Belgium, UK
1984
Noise, Industrial

Thoughts: Density. That's the word I'm searching for as I stumble through the haze of my noise-induced headache. Density. There's a lot going on in this record, a lot to unpack and interpret. Half-eaten magnetic tapes, pounding machines, near-constant feedback of some kind or another. All overlaid with an insectoid static. It's like they made a record, destroyed it, and then played the record, recording what came out.

Release info: This was dubbed onto a few cassettes in 1984 and had no label and no distribution. One of those rare cassettes is worth upwards of $1000. wtf It was reissued on CD and vinyl in our boring 21st century, but those are just shameless money grabs, co-opted by The Man.
