In 1991 Coil released the third of their early classic full-length albums, "Love's Secret Domain", seemingly casting aside the gloom and funereal beauty of its predecessors in favour of a painstakingly multi-layered hallucinogenic electronic beast. Unlike some of their fellow ex-industrial contemporaries' releases of the time, this wasn't an attempt at easy accessibility or (the-gods-forbid) danceability, but a vibrating psychedelic masterpiece unrivalled in their discography and still a landmark album today.
To mark its 30 year anniversary Infinite Fog present an expanded, fully remastered official re-release of this fan favourite, available for the first time ever in its entirety on vinyl, with 10 rare and mostly unreleased tracks and alternative versions from the period added as a bonus to the luxurious 3LP set. "Love's Secret Domain" contains among its many highlights the Lynchian William Blake tribute of its title track and the intoxicating single 'Windowpane', original versions of the later Coil live staple 'Teenage Lightning' and the majestically warped classicisms of 'Chaostrophy'. Marc Almond guests on the typhonian 'Titan Arch' and This Heat's Charles Hayward provides some amazing drum stylings. This album produced by Coil & Danny Hyde pushed their sound ideas and probably their sanity to their very limits.
Beyond the iconic Steven Stapleton (Nurse With Wound) cover art here reproduced in unseen definition the doors of perception still open wide for both long-term Coil aficionados and new-comers to this supremely innovative release to explore unknown depths. The long-overdue re-release illustrates how far ahead of the curve Coil were with the sounds on this album, which still sounds as fresh and mind-blowing as it did back in the early 90's.
Deluxe triple black vinyl edition, presented in a luxurious trifold gatefold sleeve containing lyrics and photographs, and with sleeve notes by Danny Hyde and Steven Stapleton. A large format foldout cover poster is also included.
