Industrial/Noise
There is little to say about Coil apart from the fact that have been one of the most important groups in the industrial scene since the mid-1980s, and that they've had a massive effect on the state of electronic music today. The band formed and led by John Balance is particularly important for the latter because of the Backwards sound that they developed into the 1990's. This present compilation by Cold Spring is a comprehensive review of the Backwards sound, an incredible blend of dance beats and raucous noise infusions powered by an unmistakable EBM flavour that links up nicely with the likes of Nitzer Ebb, and that whole posse. "Fire Of The Green Dragon" is one of our personal favourites, a gorgeous twist of dubbed-about beat mechanics, and "Heaven's Blade" is exactly the sort of psychedelic, voice-driven techno that we're into these days. This is a must. For fans of all electronic music types. Killer.
