Coil ‎– Aqua Regis · Panic · Tainted Love












Coil
Aqua Regis · Panic · Tainted Love
1990 Wax Trax! Records

Here is a rare early release from Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson & John Balance. Not sure I can give Coil a proper synopsis other than they would be my definition of electronic/experimentalism music. They have a bizarre & tragic history with a huge catalogue of music and intriguing artwork. Here they take on Soft Cell’s infamous song in a most unique way. An acquired taste and taken in doses, is very impressive.

An excellent three pack to have. My favourite is 'Panic'. Used to get played down at Sex 2. Good times.

It totally puts their interpretation of the song into perfect context.
