Coil's 'Love's Secret Demise' hits the CD format - updated

UPDATE: We have removed the links as it appeared that this was a bootleg release.

The recordings on “Love’s Secret Demise” were initially titled “The Side Effects of Life”, which was a working title for Coil’s legendary album “Love’s Secret Domain”.

The music presented here are demos / mixes of material that was later released as the “Love’s Secret Domain” album and includes parts of the “Wrong Eye/Scope” 7″-single. The original cassette (only a handful are known to exist) was sent to WaxTrax! records in 1989 ahead of the planned future release of “Love’s Secret Domain” on the label.

The track ‘Fidget’ was subsequently released on the “WaxTrax!Sampler#2” cassette in 1989. The album was finally released by Torso (Europe) and Wax Trax! (USA) in 1991. These recordings and mixes are incredibly rare, and demonstrate Coil working towards the final pieces that would make up “Love’s Secret Domain”.

Here’s a 2006 edit of the title track.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
