COIL / THE NEW BLOCKADERS / VORTEX CAMPAIGN - The Melancholy Mad Tenant CD
Release of 2015
Comes as digipak.
In 1984 VORTEX CAMPAIGN invited COIL and THE NEW BLOCKADERSto
collaborate. The result, unofficially referred to as Dolbied, was
released on cassette in an edition of 50. The release has since gone on
to become legendary, showcasing two of the most influential groups in
the scene at the early stages of their development. The melancholy mad
tenant is an authorised release, sanctioned by all three groups. The
tracks have been professionally re-mastered and in addition to the
COIL/THE NEW BLOCKADERS/VORTEX CAMPAIGN collaboration it also contains
the entire VC archive, including two previously unreleased tracks.
Limited Edition: 700 copies! REMASTERED!
Reviews:
'Historically
potent reissue of some early, brutally primitive collaborations. Coil
are in their early Zos Kia/Coil crossover mode generating some wild
spectral energy via looped vocal trance and spooked, auroral tones while
TNB generate huge boulders of cracked fuzz. The Vortex Campaign solo
tracks are great examples of Equinox-era Punk-primitive electronic
ritual and the whole package makes for a trip back to a wildly
accelerated underground activity.' Volcanic Tongue
'Both
Coil and TNB began in the early '80s and have become major players in
their specific musical territories. The two collaborations are familiar
terrain for TNB but certainly shine new light on the formative years of
Coil, as this is very different to their 'Scatology' LP released the
same year. It's nice to hear them from a different and slightly
unexpected perspective.' Vital
