Another limited release, the first of two volumes. Rare, and probably worth a bit more (I don't mean in monetary terms; I mean intrinsic value) than Moon's Milk's bonus disc. You should recognize some of these songs from live Coil performances.

"Broccoli" is one of the few Coil songs Peter sings on. That being said, John does share the vocals with him.

Thighpaulsandra's first appearance on a Coil album.

[TheProjectedMan]

The opening notes to Are You Shivering are one of the best things I've ever heard.

[govegan]

I love the fact that Coil fans are pretty humble. I don't see any of the comments talking about how this is "real music" and complaining about how other people don't give enough appreciation to them. Just fans discussing music that they like with occasional jokes.

If I play this in the dark I’ll be asleep within five minutes. Not that it’s boring. It’s not. Even at their noisiest I find Coil totally soothing. Same is true of Throbbing Gristle. One man’s noise is another man’s NyQuil.

[jacquesbonhomme]

Joke's on Coil, I listened to this at noon

[haleywilson]

I love broccoli. Underrated vegetable.

[newsourcetechno]

That first motif from Are You Shivering really gets hold of that "oh god what have i done" feeling after dosing X

[socialdeception]

Such inspiration, listening in the morning, start your day off right....

[tonyf]

Coil is beyond definition and categorization, in a world and league of their own..

[madmattermassive]

Are you shivering? Are you cold?
Are you bathed in silver or drowned in gold?
This dream's a vitality
With filaments as fine as a spider's web
Pour through your mouth
That pour through your mouth
O river of silver, O river of flowers
I lie down and shiver in your silver river
Out drips the last drop of this vital fluid

Our life has grown weary
The stars have grown old
Are you still shivering?
Are you still cold?
Are you loathsome tonight?
Does your madness shine bright?
Are you loathsome tonight?

In the oceans of the moon
Swimming squidlike and squalid
This bright moon is a liquid
The dark earth is a solid

This is moon music in the light of the moon

[Autoluminescense]

Timeless and genius, listening to this album high has got to be one of the best experiences of my life ✨🤍

[joseph-zoramcbride]

Thanks for the upload! This was my first exposure to Coil as a teenager some 20 years ago. I was hooked from Are You Shivering. R.I.P. to both core members and may their work continue to inspire and irritate.

"Red Birds Will Fly Out Of The East And Destroy Paris In A Night"
the track expands sublimely and @11:00 becomes the best synthesiser work i have ever heard, easily on par with tangerine dream one of the most renowned synth bands out there

[BillyxRansom]

after about 6 or so minutes of the track "Broccoli" i'm starting to question a LOT of decisions i've made in my life.

[mrbeard]

Legend states that if you play this in complete and total darkness satan will show up to listen to the album and chill for a while

[stratford]

I just discovered these guys. What the hell is going on and why is it so good?

[intrnationldarkskies]

Every time I hear this it reconfirms it`s absolute perfection. Love, love this.

[akalibadaify]

Takes the perfect circumstances to enjoy this. A restless night open to curiosities seems appropriate. Shame these don't happen all that much.

[hallucinatrix]

i'm incredibly drunk this album is sending me places slipping into another dimension

[giorgisabashvili]

listening to this at morning cause i dont like getting told what to do

[Kevin-rofo]

Electronic psychedelia album masterpiece.
