Coil ::: Threshold Archives [8 releases pack]

Format: mp3-320
Size: 1,1 Gb
info: http://www.discogs.com/label/910477-Threshold-Archives
http://thresholdarchives.tumblr.com/

Threshold Archives began as a project by Peter Christopherson in 2006. At the time, Peter was involved in many projects that consumed much of his time including Soisong, a re-launched Throbbing Gristle, and The Threshold HouseBoys Choir, in addition to assembling the final Coil album, The New Backwards, and the massive Colour Sound Oblivion box. With the passage of time, intercontinental moves, and record label bankruptcies, many master recordings and artworks were lost, damaged, or degrading. At the time of his passing in 2010, Peter had only begun to assemble artwork for Threshold Archives releases, but no project was completed. The music was scattered across numerous sources, including DATs, cassettes, Betamax masters, reels, and old computer hard disks with long-outdated and incompatible operating systems. Peter didn’t have time to sort through and identify it all, so he sought help. Discussions and agreements were reached and the blueprints of Threshold Archives were made. Through the efforts of former Coil members, friends, and family, these collections are finally materializing. The quality of these recordings varies greatly, as does the artwork that was available. Additionally, many previously unreleased songs have no titles available. Coil was Geff (John Balance) and Peter (Sleazy), who presented Coil as a complete experience; song choices, mix, order, cover artwork, layout, live visuals, costumes, guests, etc. Without Balance and Sleaz, there is no official Coil release nor will there ever be again. Nothing that bears the word “Coil” is authorized, official, or sanctioned by Coil, as Coil has ceased to exist.

Coil - The Lost Rivers of London

From Hubert Montague Crackanthorpe's Vignettes (1896):

I have sat there and seen the winter days finish their short-spanned lives; and all the globes of light — crimson, emerald, and pallid yellow — start, one by one, out of the russet fog that creeps up the river. But I like the place best on these hot summer nights, when the sky hangs thick with stifled colour, and the stars shine small and shyly. Then the pulse of the city is hushed, and the scales of the water flicker golden and oily under the watching regiment of lamps.

The bridge clasps its gaunt arms tight from bank to bank, and the shuffle of a retreating figure sounds loud and alone in the quiet. There, if you wait long enough, you will hear the long wail of the siren, that seems to tell of the anguish of London till a train hurries to throttle its dying note, roaring and rushing, thundering and blazing through the night, tossing its white crests of smoke, charging across the bridge into the dark country beyond.

In the wan, lingering light of the winter afternoon, the parks stood all deserted, sluggishly drowsing, so it seemed, with their spacious distances muffled in greyness: colourless, fabulous, blurred. One by one, through the damp misty air, looked the tall, stark, lifeless elms. Overhead there lowered a turbid sky, heavy-charged with an unclean yellow, and amid their ugly patches of dank and rotting bracken, a little mare picked her way noiselessly. The rumour of life seemed hushed. There was only the vague listless rhythm of the creaking saddle.

The daylight faded. A shroud of ghostly mist enveloped the earth, and up from the vaporous distance crept slowly the evening darkness. A sullen glow throbs overhead: golden will-o'-the-wisps are threading their shadowy ribbons above golden trees, and the dull, distant rumour of feverish London waits on the still night air. The lights of Hyde Park Corner blaze like some monster, gilded constellation, shaming the dingy stars. And across the east, there flares a sky-sign, a gaudy crimson arabesque. And all the air hangs draped in the mysterious sumptuous splendour of a murky London night.

I'm gonna drown myself in the lost rivers of London
I am gonna drown myself in the lost rivers of London

Coil ::: Themes From Derek Jarman's 'Blue'

Alleged original pressing of 1000 blue copies and 23 signed yellow copies, however, numerous yellow copies have surfaced, suggesting that World Serpent was lying about the limited quantities. The version of Theme 1 collected on Unnatural History II is missing the four second opening tag from the 7" version. The version of Theme 2 which appears in the film and soundtrack of Derek Jarman's Blue has dialogue whereas these versions do not.

Tracklist:
Side A - Luminous Darkness
Side B - Go Into The Light

Coil ::: Moon's Milk in Four Phases

Moon's Milk (In Four Phases) is release by Coil that compiles four of their singles onto a double CD. The two disc album compiles the CD versions of Spring Equinox, Summer Solstice, Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice (originally recorded throughout 1998, and released seasonally from March 1998 to January 1999). The album also has a live version of "Amethyst Deceivers" hidden at the end of the first disc, following several minutes of silence after "A Warning From The Sun (For Fritz)".  The release features artwork by Steven Stapleton.

At the time of release, a mail order edition was offered , comprising the standard 2CD set with the Moons Milk (In Four Phases) Bonus Disc, a CDr of extra material presented in sleeves that John Balance had individually hand-painted.

Tracklist:

Coil - Moon's Milk (I,II.III)

First Phase: Spring Equinox
101 Moon's Milk Or Under An Unquiet Skull (Part One) 8:29
102 Moon's Milk Or Under An Unquiet Skull (Part Two) 8:09
Second Phase: Summer Solstice
203 Bee Stings 4:55
204 Glowworms/Waveforms 5:54
205 Summer Substructures 8:07
206 A Warning From The Sun (For Fritz) 16:33
Third Phase: Autumn Equinox
307  Regel 1:15
308 Rosa Decidua 4:53
309 Switches 4:43
310 The Auto-Asphyxiating Hierophant 5:55
311 Amethyst Deceivers 6:42

The conclusion to the 1998 season series (actually released in January 1999) certainly lives up to the title billing, in that things do sound awfully cold and gloomy this time around. Opening track "A White Rainbow" does it brilliantly, though Balance's upfront, softly echoed vocal backed by viola from William Breeze and buried background chants result in an unstable, fascinating blend. Enough randomly crazed distortion comes in at the end to send everything just enough over the top. The holiday season is invoked with the final track, the traditional "Christmas Is Drawing Near," with Rose McDowell and Robert Lee making a return appearance in the series with an excellent, enveloping performance. The two tracks in between, "North" and "Magnetic North," mix a little more instrumental warmth in here and there, but still come across as attractively alien and distant, rising and falling drones and random melodies floating with Balance's electronically roughened delivery.

Coil ::: Airborne Bells - Is Suicide A Solution

Number 22 (Nov/93) in the "Clawfist Singles Club" series.
"Airborne Bells" is spelled "Airbourne Bells" on the label.
"Is Suicide A Solution?" is a reworking of "Who'll Fall" from Stolen and Contaminated Songs, but is slightly remixed and features an opening which speaks "I am the loneliest link in a very strange chain," and an ending which, when spun backwards plays "When the gods want to punish you, they answer your prayers..."

Coil ::: And the ambulance died in his arms

The album breaks the hour long set into five lengthy tracks; “Triple Sun Introduction,” “Snow Falls into Military Temples,” “A Slip in the Marylebone Road,” Triple Sons and the One You Bury” and “The Dreamer is Still Asleep – A Somnambulist in an Ambulance.” Most of the songs performed are unique to the set, with only “Triple Sons” and “The Dreamer is Still Asleep” appearing in highly altered form on studio albums. In their live form all the songs are pushed to their trance inducing limit with Balance’s repetition and eventual mutation of the lyrics giving the oscillating tracks their center.

The whole performance flows very well, with all the songs knitted into a meditative web, a landscape which provides the room to analyze the very worldly melancholy expressed in the lyrics. As Balance says about a third of the way through the show “were doing a quiet set this evening, we’ve had to much shouting over the last year.”  Indeed all the songs are similarly subdued but different enough from each other to provide a variety of texture. When Jhonn Balance intones “Working out a means of escape, we cut across the crop circles, the seer says no, not much time left for these escape attempts,” there is a palpable longing in his words.

The audio mix is impeccable, bringing out every nuance of the synthesizers and highlighting Tom Edwards’ marimba. Despite the album not being recorded with binaural sound the whole experience is very immersive. This is a live album that should be listened to loud and preferably with nice headphones or high quality speakers. The soundscapes and rambling lyrics of the performance demand attention in strange ways, being both thought provoking and hypnotic. “A somnambulist in an ambulance” is an image that deserves cognizance but as it is repeated over six minutes it’s meaning beings to dissolve.

Perhaps that is the intent of the repetition, to make the words lose their meaning. If the lyrics have no meaning then we are forced to look for meaning in the sound around the words. The trick, with Coil at least, is to think of the songs in a holistic way, a singular beast that is not necessarily the sum of its parts.

As a snapshot of Coil in 2003 this is a fantastic album, highlighting some of the most beautiful live work that the band produced. For fans it is a must have album and for people who want to experience a different type of music, or as Coil put it “Musick,” this is certainly a good place to start. In their own words, “Coil know how to destroy angels. How to paralyze. Imagine the world in a bottle. We take the bottle, smash it and open your throat with it. I warn you we are murderous. We will massacre the logical revolts. We know nothing. We know everything. We know one thing only. Absolute existence, absolute motion, absolute direction, absolute truth.”

Tracklist:
1. Triple Sun Introduction
2. Snow Falls into Military Temples
3. A Slip in the Marylebone Road
4. Triple Sons and the One You Bury
5. The Dreamer is Still Asleep - The Somnambulist in an Ambulance
