Synopsis

Album Description
Coil were formed by two founding members of Psychic TV - Peter Christopher And John Balance. Scatology originally released on LP in 1984 on the label Force & Form and received rave reviews as well as provoking scandal amongst prudes. It was co-produced by Clint Ruin (aka Foetus) and Gavin Friday. The album is littered with enthusiasm, intelligence and a sleazy fetish. The result is a mixture of emotion and experience. 13 tracks includes bonus cuts 'The Spoiler' (unreleased alternative version) & 'Restless Day' (originally released on Yang-Ki Records).

CD Reviews

Ok, my previous review was pathetic

"I'm sorry, I got carried away and didn't really say anything useful in the last review. Except that I am sad the covers changed.Scatology and Horse Rotorvator don't sound like later Coil to me. They are neither in the strictly melodic Coil category, nor in the strictly noise Coil category. The two releases, similar in style, have that old-school almost-industrial (i.e. certainly not in a category with 80's Einsturzende Neubauten or Test Dept. but akin to some live Psychic TV, yet more focused) thrusty edge to them, and an appealing sparseness, although the tracks are obvious "songs", with "melodies" and "rhythms." Dramatic, chafing, provocative, excellent 80's-style, there is a gorgeously twisted magickal intestinal honesty about the whole affair on both CDs. Vocals are dominant on many songs, unlike later Coil. Coil of the many faces. Scatology and Horse Rotorvator are must-haves for Coil fans and didn't serve me as a bad introduction to the band, having bought them both on vinyl I did in the 80's."
BRILL ALBUM!

"I only found out about coil 18 months ago. I decided to download something by them out of curiosity (one of those random WinMX searches, you know) I downloaded probably the worst introductions that exist in the whole Coil back-catalogue "Windowpane", and "Dark Start" - they scared me to death! I thought nothing more of it until I searched for the original Tainted Love - coil's name came up - so I decided to give them one last try. Again, it scared me to death, but was somehow more familiar to me than the later stuff (I'm a massive Joy Division fan - work the rest out!) I decided to get "Scatology", and it was like a cross between Joy division/New order's stuff (Check them out if you like this album!) the album recorded after this "Horse Rotorvator", is better for people who want to dip their toe into the water - It is more guitar-based, and the songs have more structure - but this is the album for me! (I'm sure they nicked Steve Morris's drumkit and used the same studio! - if not, it is just scary...!!)"
