COIL - VINYL A THOUSAND LIGHTS IN A.. [VINYL]

Popis - A THOUSAND LIGHTS IN A.. [VINYL]:
2023 repress. During the transitional period in which Coil's primary leadership (Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson and John Balance) reorganized their creative direction by taking on new membership in the group through their inclusion of Drew McDowall, Coil took a drastic turn towards the metaphysical unknown. Employing the subtle handiwork of Coil's "real life" members, as well as cleverly guised aliases and spiritual collaborators, the band chose to filter their identity through the nome de guerre, 'Black Light District', setting the precedent of Coil's future exploration of otherworldly influence. Recorded during the winter of 1995/96, the album leans more on their formal avant-garde pursuits and academic interests rather than their industrial pedigree resume. Conceptually abstract, 'Black Light District' shows Coil's old guard disregarding the pop rhythms found on previous albums, such as 'Love's Secret Domain,' and fully embracing their experimental electronic trajectory.
