This could easily have led to some “covers” as interesting as those which have appeared of John Cage’s “4’33″” – and to a point, Steven Stapleton already did that schtick a few years back on the official How To Destroy Angels remix album. Fortunately, this is not the case with At The Threshold Moment, in that the contributors, drawn from members of the Coil email list, have chosen largely to make their pieces resemble remixes more often than not, or to produce tracks in the spirit of Coil instead of straight covers.Ī case in point are the two versions of “Absolute Elsewhere”, the joke for the uninitiated being that the original track was a blank B-side to the “How To Destroy Angels” single.

This seems for some reason to be a particular problem with dodgy Goth cover bands taking apart their Eighties heroes, with all the panache of a pub-rock band in full boozy flight. The negative thing about tribute albums is that they can be an outlet for a bunch of otherwise unknown bands and artists to get some attention by producing variable-quality interpretations of their influences’ music. Various – At The Threshold Moment – A Tribute To Coil Nigel Ayers‘ field recording of shamanic songs of Yemani upon installation of telephone equipment – to bring good luck – are particularly illuminating. Others hold a particular inquisitiveness and fascination with the human voice, and about the telephonic medium at large. Some of the contributions from the European contingent share a fascination with American evangelical speakers and Jack Chick-level Christianity. It’s a great collection of sounds with which one can hector the answering machines of friends and enemies alike. One of the best compilations ever, I guaran-f’ing-tee it. Needless to say that you have to translate the text in your language!”Īnd that’s precisely what is. And the fourth part is something special… This booklet contains a lot of texts for those who practise karajoke for their machines. The third section contains material which you can leave on answering machines that you have called. You can use these to speak your own text (the Karajoke part).

The first part of the CD are ready made pieces, followed by a series of sound-only material. It contains a wide variety of sounds that you can load on your answering machine. “This CD celebrates the 100th cd release of Staalplaat. Yep, another packed month or three for the people at Mute. Recoil’s track “Jezebel” is the other revelation of the CD – a bizarre and biblical rap with backing vocals provided by Diamanda Galas. Foil are in the noisy Nirvana realms with their track “Superhero No.1”. Holger Hiller is back with the minimal and demixed “ Curmbox“. Great fun unless you happen to fall off the swings. (How many times can Big Black be safely mentioned in one month of reviewing?) It’s a drone Rock epic that’s been dragged kicking and screaming though a playground full of broken glass. “ Telstar Recovery” is Hawkwind for the post- Big Black epoch. Cristian Vogel’s latest single “ Whipaspank” is a curious and wonderful chunk of techno.Įchoboy are one of the revelations for me. Goldfrapp’s “Utopia” is generally pretty epic track with lots of big synths.Īdd N To (X) and Luke Slater provide moments of cute and groovesome Electro with “ Plug Me In” and “ All Exhale (Electropunk Mix)” respectively. Beneath it all the tune is still driven by a Synth Pop heart. “Freedom” is boppy House number with sprinklings of Kraftwerk-y vocals. Erasure are back with their first single in three years. That’s a pretty varied mix, better than many compilations for sale. You won’t find it in the shops, unless you work in the shops.Ģ000.3 has new releases from Erasure, Goldfrapp, Add N To (X), Cristian Vogel, Echoboy, Holger Hiller, Foil, Luke Slater, and Recoil. It’s a compilation of the up and coming Mute (and Novamute) releases. What are the folks at Mute up to right now?Īdvance 2000.3 isn`t really an album as such.
