4.0 out of 5 stars industrial soundscapes, August 15, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Unnatural History 1 (Audio CD)

The album's good, a mix of early Coil work, but hard to listen to in one sitting since the album as a compilation has no continuity. Though great stuff, I'd recommend buying a real album such as one of the Musics to Play in the Dark or Horse Rotorvator (which has a similar sound to this stuff).

My main reason for writing this review, however, is to make clear than Unnatural History IS NOT Horse Rotorvator with different song titles. I don't know where the previous reviewer heard this, but it's not true.

While this serves as a good "odds and ends" compilation of Coil, or a decent introduction to them, I will say that the track "How to Destroy Angels" is one of the most disturbing tracks I have ever heard. Nightmarish samples disorient the listener into a netherworld of the bizzare and morbid. Any Coil is recommended by yours truly, if only they would rerelease these Stateside to avoid the terrible import prices.

This will serve as an excellent introduction to Coil. unfortunately afterwards also most their albums will seem unsatisfying since Coil love sometimes to take their experiments a bit far. However this collection really does not bore and presents soem of thier more ineteresting stuff. Not as extreme as some think. Quite ebautiful in parts.
