Product Description
Album Description
Coil were formed by two founding members of Psychic TV - Peter Christopher And John Balance. Scatology originally released on LP in 1984 on the label Force & Form and received rave reviews as well as provoking scandal amongst prudes. It was co-produced by Clint Ruin (aka Foetus) and Gavin Friday. The album is littered with enthusiasm, intelligence and a sleazy fetish. The result is a mixture of emotion and experience. 13 tracks includes bonus cuts 'The Spoiler' (unreleased alternative version) & 'Restless Day' (originally released on Yang-Ki Records).
Album Details
Reissue of Notorious 1985 Album from Ex-psychic TV Members (Unavailable for Over a Year).

Coil is like a box of chocolates..., April 27 2003
By "klangfarben" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Scatology (Audio CD)
..Sweet, addictive, and with something for, well, most people. The sound ranges from pure, Throbbing Gristle-style noise (Sewage Worker's.., Clap) to, um, TG-style scary, ultra-primitive, animalistic chanting (Godhead ~ Deathead, Solar Lodge) - only even rawer and more threatening than TG, and far more catchy, stylish, and (dare I say it?) infernal than anything that lineup ever created- to the Enoesque, off-kilter pop of 'Restless Day', and the almost ambient 'At the Heart of It All'. There are plenty of pleasant little surprises like the presence of Gavin Friday and Marc Almond on 'The Tenderness of Wolves' and their infamously creepy re-working of pop anthem 'Tainted Love'. No truly weak points to be found- while I found 'The Spoiler' and 'Panic' irritating, even they have a certain repetitive charm to them and would fit in nicely on, say, 'Horse Rotorvator'. All in all, a damn fine album, full of choice little bonbons of noisy delight that beg to be played, re-played, and shared with the neighbours.

I'm sorry, I got carried away and didn't really say anything useful in the last review. Except that I am sad the covers changed.Scatology and Horse Rotorvator don't sound like later Coil to me. They are neither in the strictly melodic Coil category, nor in the strictly noise Coil category. The two releases, similar in style, have that old-school almost-industrial (i.e. certainly not in a category with 80's Einsturzende Neubauten or Test Dept. but akin to some live Psychic TV, yet more focused) thrusty edge to them, and an appealing sparseness, although the tracks are obvious "songs", with "melodies" and "rhythms." Dramatic, chafing, provocative, excellent 80's-style, there is a gorgeously twisted magickal intestinal honesty about the whole affair on both CDs. Vocals are dominant on many songs, unlike later Coil. Coil of the many faces. Scatology and Horse Rotorvator are must-haves for Coil fans and didn't serve me as a bad introduction to the band, having bought them both on vinyl I did in the 80's.

This is fun, Aug 30 2000
By "harree" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Scatology (Audio CD)
I've had this album for about 6 years now, (thats not me showing off, just trying to say this was one of the first things I heard by Coil, this hellraiser themes). It is very different to what they are upto now, so take this into account. I say that this is one of my favourite albums of early eighties industrial scene. You get the feeling that two guys used anything they could get their hands on, which keeps in the vain of Peter Christophersons earlier work with Throbbing Gristle and very early Psychic TV. There version of 'Tainted Love' still makes me feel extremely emotional if not a little scared inside. Panic is also a supperb song, with the very true words 'the only thing fear is fear itself'. I think it's fair there a lot of energy (probably sexual), with niave punk attitude. There is also another gem here that was used for a Derek Jarman film, later (or before) on 'The Angelic Conversation' album. If you like this album check out 'Horse Rotarvator' as well.
