Zos Kia Coil Silence & Secrecy (Live Magenta Club 5 August 1983)

From Coil Live at Wiki :

"Experimental music group Coil's live incarnation has a distinct legacy of its own. The initial performances took place in 1983, however they stopped playing live for 16 years after a mere four performances. The first Coil release, a collaboration with Zos Kia titled Transparent, includes a track from the first Coil performance as well as the last 1983 performance. According to the liner notes of Transparent, during Coil's second performance, which was videotaped by Peter Christopherson, John Gosling pees on John Balance. Nick Cave, who was in the audience at the time, promptly left[1]. Marc Almond is also credited for performing that night while Christopherson is only credited for providing back up tapes during the event."

This, then, is the second night's performance. All thanks to Sleazy for permission and F for access.

Bruce Haack Alert

Heino und Jerry im Uber Space has posted The Electric Lucifer coupled with some fantastic images and some lovely YouTube clips featuring our Mr. Haack in the presence of one Fred (Mr.) Rogers. I knew I loved that program. (For those not in the U.S. Mister Rogers' Neighborhood was a long-lived children's program on Public Broadcasting Service that featured some great things for kids and their parents.)

At any rate, check it/them out. Highly Recommended!

ELpH Live Volksbuehne, Berlin (14 December 1999)

From Coil at Answers :

"Coil's live incarnation has a distinct legacy of its own. The first live shows took place in 1983, but after only four performances, sixteen years would pass before they would play together again.[4]
On December 14 1999 Coil performed Elph.zwölf at Volksbuehne in Berlin. Although the performance lasted just under eighteen minutes, it marked the beginning of a new era of live performances. Coil would go on to perform close to fifty additional concerts, with varied set lists as well as performers."

Here, then, is that performance as ELpH in 1999, the first live edition of Coil since 1983.

Brief but powerful, this takes the same musical path their contribution to the Raster-Noton 20' to 2000 series travelled and was a precursor of many sounds in a live milieu to grace the oeuvre of Coil. A must for the completist ; a brief introduction to the abilities of Sleazy and Jhonn to take simple components of sound and weave them together into a magickal aural tapestry for the novice.

A huge thank you to F without whom I would never have been able to hear this, let alone share.

Coil Site

From Brainwashed:The Solar Lodge -

"An "authorized bootleg" of Coil's live performance in Porto, Portugal on June 21st, 2003 was released on CD in September via unknown sources..."

I believe that the referenced bootleg had track separation and related artwork. It is still available from some retailers, should you want the packaging.

It's possible, too, this will be part of CSO. If that happens, not only will the official release sound better, this post will be moot.

Currently available as download through Threshold House

Andrew Liles Site
The Liles site lists an upcoming title of Somnambulance To Dream General.
Klanggallerie , as referenced in the comments (thanks again for keeping me honest:) and had I done proper sleuthing would have readily found, has this to say:
"Originally released in a microscopic edition on CD-R only, this masterpiece is presented to you now as a proper Cd with stunning artwork. Three bonus tracks have been added to the original album and what you get is Mr. Liles at his very best! Planned as a collection of obscure and leftover tracks, Somnambulants is an amazing testament of Andrew Liles' skills as a modern composer. A must-have from this member of Nurse With Wound, The wardrobe and The Vortex Vault."
Indeed. Had I known this would see the light of day in a new pressing, I STILL would have purchased the CDR. Fantastic sounds amid minimalist piano and more, Liles lists this title's rerelease as Winter 'o7, while Klanggallerie has early '08. Either way, definitely a piece worth seeking out.
Excerpted tracks are highlighted with an asterisk (*) on the above listing.
So, please give a listen, as this alchemist of sound wends his way through the everyday, finding and extracting the extraordinary. And be sure to keep an eye out for the release of Somnambulance... It'll be limited to 500 according to Klanggallerie.
