Spell – Seasons in the Sun (1993)

A very fun album by Boyd Rice (NON) and Rose McDowall (Strawberry Switchblade/Coil/Current 93). This is unlike anything else I’ve heard by Boyd Rice, and even features him singing instead of just doing his usual spoken-word performances (but there are spoken-word pieces here, too). It’s a rather kitsch collection of cover versions of songs from [...]

Coil – Constant Shallowness Leads to Evil (2000)

This album is amazing, and increases in intensity as it goes on. If you’ve only heard early albums like Horse Rotorvator and Love’s Secret Domain, you need to get this to find out what Coil were really about.
