The long-overdue re-release illustrates how far ahead of the curve Coil were with the sounds on this album, which still sounds as fresh and mind-blowing as it did back in the early 90s. Beyond the iconic Steven Stapleton cover art here reproduced in unseen definition the doors of perception still open wide for both long-term Coil aficionados and new-comers to this supremely innovative release to explore unknown depths. Marc Almond guests on the Typhonian 'Titan Arch' and This Heat's Charles Hayward provides some amazing drum stylings.This album is Coil pushing their sound ideas and probably their sanity to their very limits. ![]() Remastered by Josh Bonati from original source material. To mark it's 30 year anniversary Infinite Fog are beyond proud to present an expanded, fully remastered re-release of this fan favourite available for the first time ever in it's entirety on vinyl with 10 rare and mostly unreleased tracks and alternative versions from the period added as a bonus to a luxurious 3LP/2CD set.Love's Secret Domain contains among it's many highlights the Lynchian William Blake tribute of it's title track and the intoxicating single 'Windowpane', original versions of the later Coil live staple 'Teenage Lightning' and the majestically warped classicisms of 'Chaostrophy'. Official 30th Anniversary Edition - From the pioneering 1991 Wax Trax Records release. In 1991, Coil released the third of their early classic full-length albums 'Love's Secret Domain', seemingly casting aside the gloom and funereal beauty of it's predecessors in favour of a painstakingly multi-layered hallucinogenic electronic beast, which unlike some of their fellow ex-industrial contemporaries' releases of the time wasn't an attempt at easy accessibility or (the-gods-forbid) danceability, but a vibrating psychedelic masterpiece unrivalled in their discography and still a landmark album. ![]() Not long ago, I picked up Stolen And Contaminated Songs, a collection of outtakes and reworked themes from the LSD sessions, which makes for an excellent companion piece, but there doesn't appear to be much overlap with the new deluxe edition. ![]() Perhaps their crowning achievement, 1991's Love's Secret Domain will be getting the deluxe treatment later this month, including a second disc with various remixes and alternate versions, as well as a vinyl release. I'm not ordinarily a huge fan of electronic music, but there was something really unique about Coil-their fearless creativity, their mastery of dynamics and textural distortions both subtle and extreme.
