At the turn of the millenium the original „Astral Disaster“ subcription-only vinyl release was somewhat of an Unholy Grail for Coil collectors!
Virtually unobtainable in its original fiercely limited format of only 99 copies, it is the only album apart from the original „Musick to play in the
Dark“ record to combine the genius of Balance and Sleazy with both Drew McDowall and Thighpaulsandra's talents.
Like „Musick“ it is an essentially tidal/lunar record with literal washes of sound enveloping the listener. Intensely engaging tracks like „The Avatars“ and the later concert tour-de-force „I don't want to be the one“ owe equal amounts to drone and kraut, but are quintessentially Coil.
The record was re-imagined and enhanced a short time later, but even this more widely available re-edition on Coil's own Thresholdhouse imprint has been unavailable for too long now.
Like that version our new definitive collection boasts exclusive all-new art by Nurse with Wound's Steven Stapleton as well as every old picture from previous editions. This sumptuous 5LP/4CD most comprehensive Coil re-edition does not only collect the two original versions released when Coil were still alive, but also all of the rare outtakes, most which were later briefly available on now equally out-of-print vinyl and CD, thus providing the definitive gathering of all of the material from these landmark sessions. The booklet features all lyrics, extensive liner notes and sheds light on the interesting circumstances of the creation of this
Coil release by Gary Ramon who not only instigated the sessions but also provided the haunting location for their recordings.
Has been respectfully and expertly remastered by grammy-nominated Jessica Thompson. Artwork by Steven Stapleton design & layout by Oleg Galay.
