Rating: Yellow, flames, nothing identifiable. One hopes in the doubt of the next person; this is what performing this avant-garde conveys to us. The Coil is certainly not something imaginable or predictable, this is made clear already by the Zos Kia project.
Here, in 1985, we find “Panic” and the highly personalized cover of “Tainted Love,” dutifully remembering thus “Slur” and Marc (Almond). The graphite-etched cover adds mystery and captivating elegance, elements always present in the duo’s imagery.
“Panic” has a much more elaborate and complex structure compared to the version present in “Scatology,” an impressive debut featuring excellent guests, with the blonde witch of Virgin Prunes leading the way! Continuous variations and oriental blows coexist with occult ideals and sacredness.
The sumptuous trumpets, forerunners of Clock DVA’s “Buried Dreams,” and the nervous uneven times symbolize originality and foresight. The Balance / Christopherson recipe seems to work wonderfully, no one can halt the attack of their inner flow.
Soul laid bare in the symphonic cover of “Tainted Love,” an excellent example of lyricism and pathos, a marriage that will make its way in the nineties.
Spirit and mind are two great suns in the Coil universe.
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
02 Panic (07:38)
"Anything
Will be alright
If you come out
In the night"
With your life sewn open
Breath in
Put the bone back in
Buried under the skin
Murder in reverse
Out of time
Out of place
Out of spite
Swallow the spike
The only thing to fear
Is fear itself...
03 Tainted Love (05:53)
Soft Cell cover
Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain that you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Oh...tainted love
Tainted love
Now I know I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
You don't really want any more from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you think love is to pray
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Oh...tainted love
Tainted love
Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm going to pack my things and go
Tainted love, tainted love (x2)
Touch me baby, tainted love (x2)
Tainted love (x3)
