from _________________ GEFF RUSHTON (JOHN BALANCE) 1962-2004 We are sad to report the untimely passing of Geff Rushton (a.k.a. John Balance), founder of Coil, occasional member of Zos Kia, Psychic TV, Nurse With Wound, Current 93, Death In June, and friend to many. He will be sadly missed in this world. A Book of Condolence is being established in honor at __________________________ this is so terrible. i saw coil live a few weeks ago and thought he was amazing... he had so much more to live for. the site says he died in an accident whilst drunk. i'll really miss him for a long time and i'm sure a hell of a lot of people will feel the same way. excuse me if there's a thread about this already - but this should be on the front page anyway. at least he influenced a lot of people in his life and will continue to do so posthumously i'm sure. |

My thoughts exactly. It's a shame, I was really starting to appreciate Coil. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Extremely sad news... still can't believe it. He was one of my favourite artists |

I do wish his soul safe journeying on the other side... and express my sympathy to Peter Christopherson, Ian, Thighpaulsandra and everyone who is/was close to him! Sucks that it was an accident while drunk... his old demon got him. |

I don't mean to dissrespect John or anyones emotions now but isn't a bit ironic that someone called "Balance" should die from a fall ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm still in shock. It's just... wha. Not anyone I thought would die just yet. :( RIP Jhonn, wherever you may be now. |

No disrespect taken Sido, it is darkly funny... |
||||||||
|
|

it's really ironic, yeah... listening to horse rotorvator... |

That's drunk drivers for ya |

|

Paul, it wasn't a traffic accident. He fell from a first floor balcony about 15 feet, while drunk. Cracked his head but didn't die immediately. Was taken to hospital and died without regaining consciousness. |
||||||||

Oops, I read Accident as a driving accident for some reason :$ anyway, I never heard of this person. |
||||||||
|
|

|

for those who didn't know Coil, two tracks and some samples: (1986) (1991) (???) (1999) [extract] |

Horrible... I couldn't believe this when I heard it, and it still seems... questionable, heh. A really horrible way to go, but at least he left behind a nice big body of work to sift through and enjoy. I'm going to go on a Coil spree this evening. |
||||||||
|

|

shit, it didn't hit me straight away that John Balance from coil had died, I thought it was another sad joke thread. Such a shame, i've seen Coil live last year and will never forget it, one of my top ten artists :( :( listening to some Coil now, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sleazy did most of the music i think.. but i'm sure i'll miss his crazy surreal poetry |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah : ( i missed my one and only chance to see them live... it was in may in paris, i thought i couldn't go and forgot about it, and only remembered it when it was over... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Paul, you ought to give Coil a listen; you'd probably enjoy. |
||||||||
|

No, that's what it says on their albums. |

I never really got into coil. What are they like? What albums should I check out? From what Ive heard were the Nine inch nails remixes and like a few misc mp3s that I wasnt very impressed with. I'm sure they are great because if they werent no one would care about them. What albums should I keep an eye out for in next time I'm buying music? |

Good read, thanks. Fungusman- they were, like, everything. Personally I'm fondest of their more industrial/gothy work, particularly the early stuff. Horse Rotorvator and Scatology are my favorites, quite easy to into, but still demented. And there's lots of great dark ambient/avant garde... Black Light District has some nice soundscapes. Try Ostia (The Death of Pasolini), that should win you over. Beautiful track. |
||||||||

I like their classic industrial works. I like their electronic works (especially try to find the "Backwards" demo tape for a prime example, sadly never released. Very unique sound to it.) I like their later drone works. Constant shallowness leads to evil is great. |
||||||||

i'd say start with Musick To Play In The Dark, vol.1 (although some people disagree and say to start with Love's Secret Domain). the 'Amethyst Deceivers' EP is awesome. the most accessible would be their early albums, Scatology and Horse Rotorvator, but they're not very representative, especially for later Coil which is much more "special"... also, they have great tracks but filler tracks too, which isn't so much the case of later Coil. |
