Coil offer us up another black audio ritual, topped off nicely with a DVD of all enveloping mindscapes.

The sound here seems alive, it burrows holes into your time. Alters your surroundings, making them seem unreal. Over prolonged listening it can also put you into a trance-like state (I’m not joking). To quote the cover sticker "contents may Spazz you out"

The cd’s are split up thus:

CD A: three twenty-minute tracks that tend more towards siren like sound. CD B: two tracks flecked with a more sinister ritual air. CD C: two tracks in a more ambient texture that boils up every now and then.

ANS DVD: four tracks with visual representation by Sleazy. My favourite at the moment has to be track two with its black and white mindscapes. Which bring to mind travelling towards odd night time cites. Or awaking from strange dreams finding the darkness alive around you.

All in all three hours of music and a further hour of visuals

This is music that demands your attention. Slowly but surely it sucks you into its swirling nether world. Best played on headphones, alone with a few hours on you hands. A real audio / visual treat.

Another thoroughly satisfying and mind altering offer from these audio explores. Possibly the ultimate dark Psychedelic trip. Its available now at the cheap as chips price of £31.00 Plus P+P from Threshold House
