the one thing I think makes Coil stand out from everything else is just... they knew how their equipment works. The sounds they can get out of their gear is amazing, there's really nothing like them, even TG and PTV can't really match in terms of timbre / sound design / whatever you want to call it.
- metroholografix 3y agoCoil (especially John Balance) were perfectionists. In interviews, they stressed the importance of continuous experimentation but also noted that they needed to impose extremely high standards and ruthlessly discard much of their output when it didn't make the cut (which was the majority of the time). I remember reading an interview by Balance where he described their work as a modern take on the alchemical process of constant refinement. As far as album covers go, Love's Secret Domain [1] is a personal favorite. It is a shame that this documentary doesn't include Christopherson.
