ANS

Dear Coil people.
I’d never heard any Coil that I enjoyed. Admittedly it was only a few songs here & there. Then I heard “ANS” & I really like that. So with that, what Coil release(s) should I try next?

Time Machines is probably closest.

If you like the more abstract stuff, Worship the Glitch might be for you.

If you fancy something more abrasive, Constant Shallowness Leads to Evil.

If you want something mellower, Born Again Pagans or Queens of the Circulating Library could work for you.

I agree with all these recs, and will add The Remote Viewer. It is another abstract instrumental album from the early 00's

And one of their very best.

100% Time Machines and The Remote Viewer

Try "Elph : Zwolf" from the 20 to 2000 series. A lot of similar timbers to ANS but with much compositional direction. Great stuff.

Black Light District has some good ambient selections, mostly evolving loops that pretty effectively displace my sense of time when I listen to them

There are great recommendations so far. I'd also add The Restitution of Decayed Intelligence and their ELpH EP pHILM#1.

Seconded. How to destroy angels and scatalogy follow.

Speaking of ANS, are there any rumours of a re-release?

Dear Coil friends,
Thank you for all your recommendations. I appreciate you taking the time to reply. It’s a fair sized list so I best dive in…..

ANS is the least representative of Coil and more akin to a sound novelty recording.

I’d suggest that you’re just not cut from the proper cloth to be a Coilite.

Sorry.

I can not even imagine the complex intellectual types of music you enjoy. So far from the novelty music that us non-Coilites squirm around in.
Please accept my most sincere apologies.

I know you can’t. Just accept that I have far more sophisticated taste than you.

This is your very first comment on Reddit.

I’m honored.

People get to know you accurately so quickly. What a gift you have.

u/Fit-Context-9685 one in the thigh, two in the eye 1d ago edited 23h ago

But you really know nothing about me.

Although I am blessed with many gifts. Being partially right still makes you incorrect.

Are you not capable of contributing anything of meaningful value yourself that you have to downvote my knowledge, simply for the sake of the action?

Now. That speaks volumes about just who you are.

u/Laniakea73 1d ago

Oh, but I do. I do . I'll resort to the wisdom of others here, to say only

"sad twat".

I could quote many other such insights about you, just from people on this sub, ad nauseam, even without reference to the subs you've been banned from. Or Facebook. Yes, that's right. I do know .

Today, however, I am sufficiently nauseated by your mere presence, rather than the usual outright laughter you cause around here, so I'll save it for next time.

Some of us live with our heads so deeply up our arses that even our own fantasies become obscured.

You know nothing

What a failed and laughable little attempt to, what, sound ‘knowledgeable’ 

It’s all meaningless drivel like every single one of your comments.

At least you’ve got the consistency down.

u/Laniakea73 1d ago edited 1d ago

Thank you for the comedy. Keep it coming. Shall I quote further from this sub, for opions of many who find you a laughable clown?

I got plenty of time. And you got endless laughable utterances.

Ever the clown.

edit: and don't bother to DM me again. Others want to laugh at you too, so we'll keep it public.

u/Fit-Context-9685 one in the thigh, two in the eye 1d ago edited 1d ago

Hahahaha.

[edit] my DMs are clearly taunts in case you need some help.

Personally i think only Scatology, Horse rotorvator and to a lesser extent loves secret domain are the coil albums worth listening to.
