Coil / Nine Inch Nails' Recoiled Reissued for Its 10th Anniversary Edition on Import LP.

“Recoiled” is a rambunctious alchemy, of magikal Coil sensibilities and hi-tech home circa 90’s mixing technique, all fused in the cave-like early studios of Danny Hyde (Coil, Electric Sewer Age) / Peter Christopherson (Coil, Throbbing Gristle).

These were the unrestrained PRE-BIG studio-mix-downs, of four songs which long time Coil admirer / collaborator Trent Reznor requested Coil to remix. Reznor sent over the original multi-tracks and DATs to Hyde / Christopherson, who independently mixed versions and then met to synch both creations, molding them into these master versions.

”Recoiled” includes a fuller, more opulent version of the track ‘Closer’, which eventually made it onto the opening credits to the movie “SE7EN“. These 5 lengthy compositions (just under 40 minutes) are pre-Ableton / laptop generation type priest song creations, with the use of baby alarms and numerous wires to create bespoke effects.

These legendary tracks were always rumoured to exist and, only the due diligence of a dedicated NIN forum who hunted them down, are released/unleashed for your listening pleasure. 4 of the tracks were released on the download-only “Uncoiled”. A bonus, previously unheard track from the same sessions closes the album. Jhonn Balance is also manifest on this gilded constellation. Beautifully remastered.

"A dizzying reworking of the NIN classic by the late and legendary Industrial duo Coil, originally remixed for the opening credits of Seven" (The Times)

"Beautiful, the stuff of legend, stuff that makes you un-age yourself about twenty-something years, stuff that brings you back to "then" when you wished it was now" (5/5, Deaf Sparrow).

 "The music here is so thrilling that it makes you rejoice in the fact that at least [COIL] did exist. It also serves as a reminder of Reznor’s genius, as even though the album is more Coil in nature, the blood, sweat and tears of Reznor’s original music is apparent throughout, making this a pure and inspired collaboration" (8/10, Louder Than War)

 "Christopherson and producer Danny Hyde toy with the stems of tracks like 'Eraser' and 'Closer', pruning back the original album's industrial rock thunder and murky atmospherics and recasting them... a curious electronica that tends towards the lysergic, the downbeat and the perverse" (Fact Mag)

 "Coil’s remixes got to the dark heart of Reznor’s songs, stripping back the noise to find the blackened mood beneath. They were the shadows cast long and deep. Recoiled gives those shadows shadows of their own... As time capsules go it’s pretty darned effective. Recoiled stands on its own, both as a reminder of just how dark 90s music got and of how interesting, at its best, the industrial genre can be" (The Line Of Best Fit)

 "Recoiled captures a moment when the industrial rock and bleak ambience of Nine Inch Nails was filtered through the minds of British experimentalists, Coil... The tortured voice of Reznor and the scorching industrial guitars of Nine Inch Nails runs throughout Recoiled, but it is the abstract and blurred sounds that Coil add that make these so essential" (Compulsion)
