Description

This is a rare double vinyl test pressing of the Dais Records' 2020 reissue of Coil's legendary Musick To Play In The Dark


"Their boldly experimental records were alchemised froma variety of potent ingredients: Dionysian excess, magickal investigation, narcotic derangement, homosexual lust. In particular, Coil’s late work has stood the test of time, and 1999’s long-out-of-print Musick To Play In The Dark is among their best. Balance and Christopherson were joined by Drew McDowall and Julian Cope/Spiritualized collaborator Thighpaulsandra, it’s gorgeously lugubrious in tone, a twilit concoction of cascading synth progressions, glitching electronics and inky-black lounge music, Balance chiming in with hypnotic spoken word. “This is moon music... in the light of the moon,” he ponders on “Are You Shivering?”" - Uncut Magazine
