One of Coil’s most fêted longform works makes its maiden vinyl trip, all 50 minutes of wormhole ooze, now spread over two sides of wax.

Up there with Coil’s ‘Time Machines’ or Nurse With Wound’s ’Soliloquy For Lilith’ in the post-industrial canon, there are very potent reasons why ‘Queens Of The Circulating Library’ is hailed among Coil’s finest.

Introduced by opera singer Dorothy Lewis, who also happens to be Thingpaulsandra’s mother, it glacially shears off into Indian raga-like drones with a proper hypnagogic traction that’s likely soundtracked thousands of minds on the cusp of semi-consciousness during the years since its release on CD in 2000.

With 2nd hand copies now pretty pricey, and YouTube compression only allowing for less-than-optimal potency, this edition is primed to take psychonauts where the piece was intended. Boomkat
