RE:Coil (got in first, before Craig B)
I picked up the Panic / Tainted Love EP the other day, this I really like. What else is worth looking out for? And is the Foetus Productions stuff similar, seeing as he seems to appear on Panic in some capacity.

The early LPs and 12"s are all worth seeking out. Try The Anal Staircase for instance, or the Unreleased Themes for Hellraiser (too scary!)

The later live CD series (1,2,3,4) are a bit thin, for fans only.

Coil have a very extensive discography, with a lot of collaborations.

They are playing at RE-TG in May.

Graham and David, thanks. I'll search some more of their stuff out.

Simon,

I didn't answer about Foetus (Jim Thirwell) in all his many guises..

'Hole' by Scraping Foetus off the Wheel is the seminal album, very Wagnerian industrial rock.

'Death Rape 2000' by Wiseblood is another stand out moment.

He has collaborated a lot too, particularly with Lydia Lunch (as Clint Ruin).

His last album 'Blow' was remixed by a load of worthy types.

Thanks, picked up Hole on Saturday but have not had a chance to listen to it yet. Also got "you can't love yourself if you don't love your soul" compilation with SFOTW, Coil etc. good stuff.
