    I can relate so much with the guy who emailed them telling them that he was dying and that their music made life so much bearable. Coming into existence myself with severe depression and other ailments Coil's music really makes me feel part of something magical, and I can say that I am grateful that I lived enough to listen to their discography. If reincarnation is real than I really wish that I listen to their music all over again, if nonexistence is real than I have met enough spirituality in flesh and thought in Coil.

    Boy he was telling the truth about a lot of industrial bands that didn't try hard enough. I guess that's one reason why the genre is kind of dead beyond being a trope of its former self.

      true! both industrial and noise genres are now dead and boring, i cant see a single reason to listen to stick with any of the new noise/industrial projects, because they just seem like they're boring version of what we all have already heard

    I was pen pals with jhon ....and peter in 1991 .... but mostly Jhon ( he penned them )
    I still have a letter from jhon and his handwriting is trippy lovely cursive ,
    and the things he says in the letter are so deep and kind and special ,
    it is like something from 100o years ago .
    I also (e)mailed with Cyclobe ( who were half of COIL in 1990/91) a bit , and they told me a couple about the recording of Love's secret domain ( by Coil) and what it was like to work on that album with peter and John , and the Cyclobe guys are also very, very special beautiful people.
    Peter RIP ( we had Thailand in common) and Jhon RIP ( alcohol is the most problematic drug I have ever dealt with; I can see why it took him down )
    Thresh hold House Boys Choir by Peter and Soisong by Peter with COH , are very very worth owning , some deep stuff.

    Andy Martin (of UNIT) and Larry Peterson booked Coil to play live at The Recession Club in Ponsford Road, Hackney, in 1984. It was (I think) their 2nd live concert. Sleazy and John were joined by a young woman called Min on drums. There were barely 30 people in the audience, including myself. After the performance, Andy and Larry were worried they'd not have sufficient funds to pay Coil's expenses...but they asked for £5 and nothing more! I was mightily impressed by their totally non-rock star attitude. The music was really interesting, too.
