Musick to Play in the Dark, Volume 1 (1999)

Coil called this phase moon musick, and the album sounds like a nocturnal ritual with the lights off: droning organ, vocoded voices, crackles and watery thumps, with Jhonn Balance's murmured vocals drifting in and out. Red Birds Will Fly Out of the East is the centerpiece, slow and hallucinatory. It is far calmer than the group's earlier industrial records, but the occult atmosphere is thick throughout. Intensity: hushed and uncanny, with no loud shocks. A record for very late at night.
