This mix is focusing on the later period of Coil's music, less industrial and more glitchy and ambient. They were always forward thinkers and ahead of their peers. I've included a lot of contemporaries and groups related to them in one way or another. The Coil remixes of Scorn are some of the best works from either camp. I remember my shock when I picked up the California Rhinoplasty EP from Matmos and found the Coil cover on it. It has always piqued my interest on how the MBM track "hello teenage America" is so similar to Coil's "teenage lightening"; they both came out around the same time (89/90) and in my opinion the coincidences are too many to ignore. When Coil started performing live, I heard that Vicki Bennett from PLU was working their merch counter. The collaboration with COH man Ivan Pavlov resulted in some superb works under the SoiSong name. The Threshold House was a nice post-Coil project from Sleazy too. And then there is the deluge of unreleased tracks in the last few years, which while I enjoy hearing anything and everything they've created, only some of it is really up to the standards of their 'released' material.
