Coil / Nine Inch Nails - Recoiled

2025 repress. Ten-year Anniversary LP Edition. Out of print for nearly a decade, Cold Spring Records releases the much-demanded new vinyl edition of this legendary collaboration. Recoiled is a rambunctious alchemy of magical COIL sensibilities and hi-tech home circa '90s mixing technique, all fused in the cave-like early studios of Danny Hyde/Peter Christopherson. These were the unrestrained studio mix downs of four songs, which long-time Coil admirer/collaborator Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) 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 of the movie SE7EN. These five lengthy compositions 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 rumored to exist and, only due to the diligence of a dedicated NIN forum that hunted them down, are released/unleashed for your listening pleasure. Four 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.
