COIL

Coil is John Balance and Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson, who started to
officially work as Coil on May 11, 1983, after working together as members of
Psychic TV (Balance doing so under his real name, Geoff Rushton) and Zos Kia.
Stephen Thrower was also a semi-regular member, but no longer works with
them. Producer Danny Hyde is a regular fixture on later Coil releases. Coil
releases have also featured many guest artists, such as Marc Almond, Gavin
Friday, and Annie Anxiety.

HOW TO DESTROY ANGELS

- third pressing had a smooth, grooveless surface as originally
intended.

First pressing included an A3 black & white poster.

The Wheal * / The First Five Minutes After Violent Death /

* appears only on CD releases

Notes:
From the liner notes: "This release is not the follow-up to HORSE
ROTORVATOR... but a completely seperate package - a stopgap and a
breathing space - the space between two twins. Presented here are
thoroughbreds that escaped the Horse Rotorvator - discarded shards,
distortions, disappointments, scrambled and disassembled stages.
Remnants of what once was. This record is a chance for us to
release some otherwise placeless pieces of music."

The initial vinyl release (LOCI 1) took 3 different forms:
(1) 55 copies in deluxe box with free single THE WHEEL (LOCI 2, see
below) and art works.
(2) 900 copies on coloured vinyl (some red, some clear), some copies
including free single THE WHEEL (LOCI 2, below)
(3) "regular" release on black vinyl.

The vinyl is etched with "ME AND MY SHADOW" (side A) and "UNDERNEATH
ALL THAT EVER WAS" (side B).

The 1990 vinyl re-release (NORMAL 77) had slightly different
packaging and included the second version of THE WHEEL single
(listed below).

The initial CD release (LOCI CD1) was limited to 1000 numbered
copies.

OTHER MISC. INFORMATION & QUESTIONS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

John Balance appears on the following recordings by Current 93 - LASHTAL 12"
(1983), MENSTRUAL NIGHT LP (1985), DAWN LP (1986), THUNDER PERFECT MIND LP
(1991), and LUCIFER OVER LONDON EP (1994) - and perhaps others.

Coil recorded a cassette in collaboration with The New Blockaders and Vortex
Campaign that I have very little information about. All I know is that the
initial release was supposed a limited edition of 50 packaged in a ripped
cloth bag, that it was later re-released by RRRecords, and that Coil appears
on two tracks but isn't recognizable - like most New Blockaders stuff, it's
extremely noisy. Can anyone else shed some light on this one?

Coil is supposedly working on a soundtrack to the graphic novel UNDERGROUND,
to be released by Dark Horse Comics.

Coil have signed to Nothing, a subsiduary of Interscope Records in the US
that is owned by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. Although the initial
Coil release on Nothing will be their next album, Reznor has stated that he
would like to re-release Coil's back catalog at some point.

The tentative title for their next album proper is INTERNATIONAL DARK SKIES.
It will include guest appearances by William Burroughs, Terence McKenna, Tim
Simenon, Mark Almond, and Trent Reznor (playing John Lennon's Mellotron).
