Coil??

This seems like a really obscure band! And a huge
production. I have Scatology, scary stuff indeed!

What do you recommend? Any site that has good
recommendations?

There are lots of good releases, but for now I would
recommend 'Musick to Play in the Dark (vol. 1)'

Obscure? They've been around since 1983, they are huge!

Coil @ Discogs

across.

lots of information there.

...and some videos, too. e.g. The Sea Priestess.

I agree with you on that. Vol. 2 really stays in your head.
Most of Coil's albums have something to them. They are very
different from one another and you have to fit the mood, but
it's quite an emotional journey.
I feel strange saying that

What type of music is Coil??? I'd download some but all I
have right now for internet access is my dad's crap ass
laptop with 56k.

With 20 years worth of material, they have done a lot of
different things.

most of it is industrial/dark ambient sort of thing.

Scatology and Horse Rotorvator are my favorites, get Gold is
the Metal with the Broadest Shoulders for more of that kind
of Coil. Barely any two of their albums sound alike though
so you're in for a ride. Put on your theet belt.

"love's secret domain" is quite great.

it's almost like a commentary of commercial dance music at
the beginning of the '90s.

do they have to be commenting? can't they just make music
that they want to make? does the record need that subtext
to be worthwhile? maybe it's the sound of commercial dance
music, having been buried alive, clawing frantically at the
lid of the casket.

i couldn't help wondering.

no, it doesn't. I liked the album before I knew that, it
doesn't really change how I approach the music, it's just a
nice addition.
