Coil - Black Antlers - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Black Antlers' showcases late-period Coil at their purest stripped down, tighter, and leaner. The music became more rhythmic, with a greater emphasis on beats Inchthe songs we did tend to be more... not rock in any sense of a word, but you know, more conventional in terms of structure, but now what we're doing is sort of within an 'electronic' genre.Inch The sound of 'Black Antlers' is of an intoxicating energy, combining Thighpaulsandra's advanced synthesis, Balance's poetic lyricism and Christopherson's flirtations with jazz and Ableton-aided PowerBook maximalism. Rounding out the trio were renowned hurdy-gurdy player Cliff Stapleton on a Inchspecifically commissionedInch electric variant, to merge into the band's Inchstrange and other-worldly musicInch; Royal Academy of Music trained percussionist Tom Edwards (who also appeared with Thighpaulsandra in Spiritualized's live band); and European and Near East winds specialist Mike York on pipes, bombarde, duduk and balalaika. Initially released as an Inchalbum-in-progressInch in June 2004, a post on the Threshold House website noted, InchPlease remember that September will see Coil recording the album InchBlack Antlers (Proper)Inch.Inch Jhonn Balance passed away that November; Christopherson would reunite with 'Love's Secret Domain' collaborator Danny Hyde to complete 'Black Antlers' by May 2006.
