PAYMENT WILL BE TAKEN WHEN YOU COMPLETE CHECKOUT.
Gatefold double LP with the TTH edition and the original artwork.
At the turn of the millennium the original “Astral Disaster” subscription-only vinyl release was something of an Unholy Grail for Coil collectors.
Virtually unobtainable in its original fiercely limited format of only 99 copies, it is the only album apart from the original “Musick to play in the Dark” record to combine the genius of Balance and Sleazy with the talents of both Drew McDowall and Thighpaulsandra.
Like “MTPITD”, it is an essentially tidal/lunar record with literal washes of sound enveloping the listener. Intensely engaging tracks like “The Avatars” and the later concert tour-de-force “I don’t want to be the one” owe equal amounts to Drone and Kraut, but are quintessentially Coil.
The record was re-imagined and enhanced a short time later, but even that more widely available re-edition on Coil’s own Thresholdhouse label has been unavailable for too long.
Track list:
1. The Avatars 03:02
2. The Mothership & The Fatherland
3. 2nd Sun Syndrome 04:16
4. The Sea Priestess
5. I Don’t Want To Be The One 05:47
6. MU-UR
