Coil - ELpH vs Coil : Worship The Glitch [Reissue] '1995/2018

Tracks list

Dais Records is proud to announce the official reissue of ELpH vs Coil - Worship
the Glitch. Remastered by engineer Josh Bonati and supervised by Coils Drew
McDowall. 

Unexplainable may well be the best explanation for the members of the UK based
electronic outfit COIL. Making a radical shift from intentional accessibility,
by means of traditional pop songwriting, to abstract happenstance, Coil had
entered into a new phase in their career…uncharted waters utilizing what
was then the newest computer technology, digital and analog synthesis and the
newly formed ideas that something outside of themselves was steering the ship. 

During the studio sessions that developed into what would become “Worship
the Glitch”, Coil became aware of random compositions emitting from their
gear, and were at odds with constant “accidents” that were
perpetually plaguing the recordings. The band called these unintentional
emissions ELpH: a conceptual being that is one part physical equipment, one part
celestial being… constantly playing the role of trickster, throwing a
wrench into Coil’s methodology. Eventually, these accidents and mistakes
were embraced by the band, and the process of misusing audio software to create
intentional errors was adopted as a musical technique. The acceptance of the
mistake, and the use of discovered mistakes as intentional elements slowly
became the drive and concept behind the album, thus birthing the title
“Worship the Glitch.” 

Originally released in 1995 on Coil’s in-house imprint Eskaton, Worship
the Glitch was Coil’s first proper album-length attempt at conceptual
ambient composition, with a radical focus on chance. Seamless vignettes of
shattered electronics (though ebbing softly and in delicate balance with each
other) provide an underlying uncertainty and discomfort to the listener.
