Coil

The Snow EP

Transmigration (TM020)

1x Vinyl 12" EP Remastered

Release date: Dec 31, 2023, Germany

Coil’s most concerted club record - an entrée for LSD - returns to circulation replete with its OG remixes by Peter Christopherson, Jack Dangers (MBM), John Balance and Danny Hyde
- ‘The Snow EP’ was first issued in 1991 as the teaser for Coil’s legendary ‘Love’s Secret Domain’ album (a touchstone for everyone from Æ to Surgeon) and would most explicitly firm up their links to club music via its ruggedly driven remixes. Each revolving core samples of the folk standard ‘The Oak and the Ash’ by The King’s Singers, the song and its corresponding EP are a perfect example of club music as contemporary folk in an eldritch english sensibility; a Janus-faced, techgnostic soundtrack to ritual transcendence and intoxication.

Sleazy’s ‘The Snow (Driftmix)’ vignette only hints at the club with its decelerated breaks and unyielding tension, whereas his Out in the Cold version fully embraces the groove with elastic bass, writhing rhythms and hallucinatory detailing, both deriving from a lean and tweaky original that reflected the same sort of NYC electro influences, shades away from Joey Beltram bits at the time, thanks to sturdy engineering by Danny Hyde. Jack Dangers’ ‘Answers Come in Dreams’ mixes variously galvanise it with rugged breaks and swirling arps in a crucial vein of early rave and proto-Goa trance, shared by Drew McDowell & John Balance’s trippy effectuation on the ‘As Pure As?’ mix.
Stone cold classique.
