Coil Manifesto read by John Balance in 2001

This recording was the opening of a 4-hour radio-special on Coil for the legendary 'Supplement' on NPS/VPRO Radio 4 on June 18th, 2001*.
As a tribute to my musical architects, who now both have left us, I put this up here. with the text in the videoslides as well.
Coil is unwound, the musick will stay. RIP

I cry every time I listen to this. But I love them. And I love every Coil fan in the world. Deeply. For fuckin real.

Years pass, aeons pass, multiverses pass. Coil remain.

I don't think I'd ever read that manifesto, and I know I'd never heard Jhon read it, so thanks for I like how he says "Pretentious..." at the end!

[Guadeloop]

hahaha the altered voice saying "pretentious" at the end followed by laughter

[ArnoPeeters]

@Shatterprone: I used software to get rid of the noisy background (a cafe in an Amsterdam zoo... ;-) so at those points you can hear children's voices mangled by a noise reduction plugin... Coil would love it!

Absolute Beauty in Words. Thank you, Mr. Balance. (I love the bit at the end ... perfect).

[LoKust_Layne]

Wow. Thank you for this video. It is no coincidence that there are so many new Coil-related videos circulating (yeah!) the youTube right now...It is I guess the 20th anniversary month of 'Love's SEcret Domain" right now and I think a lot of people are feeling a reason to reflect about Coil without being totally sure of a reason why...

Coil is unwound, the musick will stay ❤

God what a mind, I really wonder what jhonn could have done as a physicist or mathematician

[StereotypicBehaviour]

You’re mis-spelling of delerium (they insist it should be delirium) is something I purposefully do as well.
Brothers find your brothers.

[jairlaiter]

Brilliant. However, in the end it's Lucifer and that's a deal breaker

[feralmettle]

Geoff was *pissed* that Gen got Derek first. ¡lol!

[shatterprone]

Can someone please tell me what title(s) might be playing in the background, OTHER than "how to destroy angels" (IF it's mainly that one to start with)? Especially the sound from 1:25 to 1:40 and again from 1:58 to 2:03 sounds unfamiliar to me and I'd like to know which track it is.

[windowpanic]

Is it Queens Of The circulating Library playing in the background?

[MutleeIsTheAntiGod]

Don't happen to have the rest of the recording do you?

[Shoateel]

a sonnet of impotence, projected into an uncaring universe.

What koilikethefish? Make music? Not to do as it is geeky to you? I'm sure they'd stopped if you'd have asked.

[Lounge-Hound]

geeky- and more geeky, someone should have told them not to.
