I absolutely adore Coil, they created one of the most diverse, beautiful and frightening discographies ever. I was truly saddened when I heard the news of Jhon Balance's death. There have been a few tribute albums since but what I'm hearing of 'The Dark Age Of Love' sounds like it may well be the finest. Ici D'ailleurs have assembled a cast of brilliant musicians who go under the cleverly cheeky banner of This Immortal Coil. These folks are Yann Tiersen, Bonnie Prince Billy, Yael Naim, Matt Elliot, Oktopus, Sylvain Chauveau, DAAU and many more. They focus on the more traditionally song based tracks as opposed to the drug fuelled cutting edge experimental electronics etc. When Matt Elliott's voice first appeared on 'Red Queen' I could have sworn for a second it was Balance himself. A spooky moment. Anyway this is all really beautiful stuff and Peter Christopherson agrees as apparently he's had it on heavy iPod rotation. The Bonnie Prince Billy number is really lovely. Apparently Balance was obsessed with Will Oldham's music so it's quite a sweet tribute to have him singing on one of his songs.We calculate your shipping costs by taking the heaviest item in your order and calculating that at the 'Heaviest Item' price.
