Although title says its a remix album of the original EP from 1984, these tracks are more like completely new songs based on the original one. We could hear the same motifs in every one track, but each one of them has its own self. First "Sleeper" is a little miniature, but the next "Remotely" is total opposition - the longest, (17 minutes) true dark and scary ambient. After such nervous experience time for a little relax, but of course relax in Coil style - "Sleeper II" is beautiful and the most calm piece of music on this record. 4th track and antoher contrast - for a change this song is really harsh and disturbing. Samples of swords (which were recorded live for the original EP) really crash our ears. "Dismal Orb" is next part to "Remotely", but better - its not as scary and tiresome, more mysterious and pleasant. New version of the original track closes this compilation - Steve Stapleton done some good work, bringing it into new dimension without losing magical aftertaste. Trance and ritual.
Whatever this band touches, it turns into gold - this album is far better than original. It contains everything what was and something extra.

The Plastic Spider Thing (2002)



A Ritual Work Remixed from Past Coil Albums by Black Sun Productions.

Musick for the Performancoid Installation in 23 Parts, the "Plastic Spider Thing"

This work was created as the soundtrack to a Ritual Sex Performance by Massimo and Pierce of Black Sun Productions, Zurich.

Radical young artists, Fetish Club owners, and experienced male sex-workers since their teens, Massimo and Pierce recently began an extensive and ongoing collaboration with Coil on their Scandinavian and European tour.

Pierce and Massimo are notorious in their own countries for their extraordinarily raw and truthful artworks, and highly charged appearances, as well as for their SexClub which, even in the tolerant Swiss city of Zurich, is still frequently raided as a result of claims of deviant or lurid sexual activity.. Bravery, sedition and scandal accompany the pair wherever they decide to travel and work.

Their latest performance "Plastic Spider Thing" is a highly moral yet sexually explicit exploration into the relationship between the Spider and the Fly.

A soundtrack was commissioned from DraZen, the third member of their Black Sun artistic collective, who used loops and mutated fragments of numerous Coil works to produce this multi-leveled 'dronewerk', by turns dark slabs of Time Machines-style electronica, and inspirational fluid sound-scapes, that suggest ideas and shapes while remaining mutable.

Coil themselves heard "Plastic Spider Thing" for the first time while receiving a demonstration of various pieces of bondage machinery at a private ceremony at Massimo and Pierce's Club in Zurich.

Perhaps unsurprisingly under those circumstances, they were so impressed by the work that they immediately agreed to release it on their own Eskaton label.

"Plastic Spider Thing" is a subtle work of pulse-pieces and dream waves, spherical severities, manipulated syntax, words and sensation, that makes the perfect accompaniment to any dark, and extended personal excursion into the Time-Space Playground.
