CSR193CD/LP/P (February 2014)

Coil / Nine Inch Nails | Recoiled



“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 / Peter Christopherson. 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)

“…it seems ridiculous that these Coil mixes of early 90s NIN material have almos been left long enough to mythologise entirely. Recoiled opts to affirm the overlaps in musical mindset rather than mash the material into new shapes, retaining Reznor’s sinister intentions and merely tweaking the backdrop behind him: Eraser is smeared into a bad trip of drone corridors and hydraulic guitars, while Closer’s dancefloor lust is lulled into semi-consciousness by watery organs and the idle leakage of radio transmission” (Rock-A-Rolla)
