Man this has turned into the Pig chat thread. Think I'm going to go see them on Tuesday since tickets are only $15 each before service fees.

They are totally not making any money off of this tour with prices that low and venues the size of the one last night's show was at. Watts seems to have found the fountain of youth with the condition he's in and the amount of energy he brought.

A nice new EP from Faderhead, Anima in Machina. It's two new songs and reworking of eight old ones. It's very much on the synthpop end of the industrial scale, way less crunchy than most of his stuff. It was going to be Bandcamp-only, but if you want a physical CD he's taking preorders until Sunday.

Preview video is pleasant enough. In other locally relevant news, Cybercide from the UK have rereleased their 2006 debut album Adrenalin with a pile of extra tracks. They sound like early 2000s Slimelight goers who want to be VNV when they grow up and are doing not too bad a job of it. Good solid pounding trancy futurepop EBM just the way we liked it, with decent songs. Not sure how I missed these guys' existence first time around.

I'm pretty sure I saw these guys back when they released that album, except there were quite a lot of bands with names like that and it's really hard to tell! If they're the band I think they are, they had a member who was rocking a Spike-from-Buffy look for several years in the 00s and getting various goth girls I knew very excited indeed since they were much into that. Also, for folks in the thread who appreciate synthwave/retrowave whatever you call it - seeing Carpenter Brut and Perturbator next week a few days apart, and pretty excited!

Speaking of Millennium, there was a limited edition remastered CD re-release in 2007. Anybody have that? Is it noticeably different from the original CD? I don't think the original mastering was bad in the first place so I wonder if it was really an improvement.

from me: Reviews: Frustration, Logic + Olivia, Beborn Beton, Disjecta Membra - coupla bleepsters in there. The L+O is not so gret akshuly though the first track actually is. The new Beborn Beton single is a winner and has a Human League cover as one of the B-sides.

I know they're not industrial but since they have a crossover fanbase into this scene , definitely go see Carpenter Brut live if you get the chance. Just saw them tonight and they were absolutely incredible. Genuinely better than most other bands I've seen live in the last few years.

Project Pitchfork's Look Up, I'm Down There is released on Spotify here. I need to listen more rather than distractedly and while constantly interrupted at work, but superficially it feels a lot more accessible and enjoyable than the last pile. No club bangers though heh.

I've listened to it 3-4 times and to me it feels like a very solid Project Pitchfork album - but not much more. I was intrigued by the slightly different direction Blood took soundwise and I was a bit disappointed to not hear any more of that here. I do love the return of copious amounts of pianos, though. Can't even remember when Pitchfork used pianos in this capacity the last time. Anyway, here are my thoughts thus far: - Into Orbit, Titânes (totally a club banger! Or at least a moshpit one) and Propaganda Child are a great opening trio of tracks, and Into Orbit and Propaganda Child definitely belong in the pantheon of loving Awesome Project Pitchfork Tracks. Really great stuff, would love to see them live. - Blind Eye and Pandora just aren't that interesting in my opinion, although Blind Eye is better than I thought based on the album sampler. Pandora reminds me of one of the less memorable Eon:Eon tracks? - Title track is very pretty and very touching. Volcano is cool as hell and loving fantastic and I'm really glad they're playing that live. - Sunset Devastation sounds awesome but I feel it lacks some kind of massive chorus or climactic moment, now it never really takes off? - Open With Caution is fun if a bit unremarkable. I feel like this could be a great live track though. Furious Numbers has some prime lyrical Spilles-isms and is just a ton of fun, another one I'd love to see live. - Exile is surprisingly hectic but I can't get much of a grip on it yet. Sky Eye sounds like a Nil redux which wouldn't be a bad thing, but it feels a bit unnecessary here. As far as these slower tracks go, I'd definitely take the title track over this one. Maybe they should've saved this as a bonus track and had Look Up, I'm Down There close the album instead. Also Pendulum is really good and it's cool they're playing it live too. Overall a solid album. No real stinkers unlike Blood which had a couple, but it's also not as interesting to me. More like another Project Pitchfork album. I'm always up for more Project Pitchfork though, so no problem there. edit: Huh, the remix of Exile is a lot better than the normal version. It's more like an extended version of it and adds a really cool section to the track. a cyborg mug fucked around with this message at 13:00 on Oct 29, 2016 |

I noticed recently that there's actually some Coil releases available new on Amazon right now, amazingly enough. This is a delightful surprise to anyone used to only seeing a smattering of $35 used CDs. I ended up buying them, which are basically 2.5 versions of the "lost" album Backwards. Backwards was supposed to be the follow up to Love's Secret Domain. It was worked on from 92-96 but never got released because of issues with "little grey men." Material from it showed up in various forms over the years, but it never saw a real release... until now. I'll do some quick reviews of them... backwards (by release date). Backwards - Well, here it is, 20 years after it was finished. It is not a coincidence that the album was only released after both John Balance and Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson died. I wasn't sure if this album was actually the real deal, but reading an interview with Danny Hyde, it is. Danny was one of Coil's producers and worked on this album and a few of their others. Apparently Sleazy was hesitant to put it out there because he thought there were still legal issues, and John would have just wanted to rework the whole thing, so unfortunately it only happened after both of them passed on. The album is a continuation of the LSD style, moving a bit closer to their later "moon musick" style. For a Coil album it is very straightforwardly industrial, if that makes sense. Stand out tracks are Backwards, Fire of the Mind, and Heaven's Blade. With a title like Heaven's Blade the song just seems like it should be awesome and it is - sort of feels like a sequel to Windowpane from LSD. The New Backwards - this was originally a bonus to the 2007 re-release of The Ape of Naples. Sleazy and Hyde reworked some of the songs off Backwards to mixed results. The standout (and practically the reason to buy the album) is the opener Be Careful What You Wish For. The album ends with an unrelated little loungey tune called Princess Margaret's Man in the D'jalfna, which is pleasant enough, and there's also the original version of Backwards on here. However, the rest of the songs are extended mixes of songs from Backwards which unfortunately come off as a bit tedious to me. What worked fine as a 4-5 minute song on Backwards gets a bit annoying when stretched out to 8. This is my least favorite album of the bunch. The Ape of Naples - the last "real" Coil release in 2005. Completed by Sleazy and Hyde after the death of Balance, this is a very slow and gloomy album. It features some reworked songs from Backwards as well as LSD and other albums, so in a way it's a career retrospective. The new version of Fire of the Mind works fine for this album, but Heaven's Blade... I dunno, it seems a shame to take a monster of a song and turn it into this thing. I would have left it out entirely. I don't like this album as much as the two Musick to Play in the Dark albums, but it's still pretty good and unmistakably Coil. Anyway, I would recommend Backwards to anyone in this thread, the rest of them depend on how much of a Coil fan you are.

I've always loved the version of Be Careful What You Wish For from The New Backwards, but when I heard the original version from Backwards I liked it a bit more, it's just so beastly. Also this fan music video is neat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLNQPPvncek Coil owns.

Jeeze - I didn't know that Peter Christopherson had died - it happened a few months after my son was born so I wasn't paying much attention to the outside world then. What a bummer.

They're also available on iTunes. Honestly I prefer Ape and TNB to Backwards, which feels like it was abandoned in a half finished state, the former 2 albums are just so much more polished.

A local here in Houston has Ape of Naples, Astral Disasters, Horse Rotovator and Backwards on vinyl. Last time I was in, I snagged Love's Secret Domain (everyone's obvious choice) and it's super duper tasty. I need to go back and grab those other LPs when I'm willing to either destroy a credit card or have cash to burn. True Confession: My first exposure to COIL was the LSD in CD format. Now pretty much listening to the vinyl version, I enjoy the condense track listing more. Although, I do wonder sometimes what's it like in Ohio. It's probably been posted before, but Recoiled has some pretty nice unreleased NIN remixes. I'm guessing these were tracks not used for Fixed. Worth hearing, and sometimes you can find it on vinyl. I had a playlist of Recoiled, some Puppy, Doubting Thomas, Charlie's Family, obligatory Misfits and some other tasty selections while handing out candy for a neighborhood party on Saturday. The COIL stuff worked out well.
