COIL - Astral Disaster (TTH Versions) - 2LP - Clear Vinyl [FEB 27]

2LP - Limited Edition Clear Vinyl housed in a deluxe Gatefold Sleeve. 

• Original Threshold House (TTH) edition presented as a standalone 2LP gatefold — faithful to Coil’s own reissue vision.

• Long unavailable and highly sought-after version of Astral Disaster, originally following the ultra-rare subscription-only release.

• One of the very few Coil albums (alongside Musick to Play in the Dark) featuring the combined lineup of Balance, Sleazy, Drew McDowall, and Thighpaulsandra.

• Deeply tidal / lunar sound work — immersive, slow-building compositions blending drone, kraut, and ritual electronics.

• Includes key Coil compositions such as “The Avatars” and “I Don’t Want to Be the One”, central to their late live performances.

• Essential vinyl edition for collectors seeking the historically accurate Coil catalogue outside the larger boxset.

At the turn of the millenium the original "Astral Disaster“ subcription-only vinyl release was somewhat of an Unholy Grail for Coil collectors!

Virtually unobtainable in its original fiercely limited format of only 99 copies, it is the only album apart from the original "Musick to play in the Dark“ record to combine the genius of Balance and Sleazy with both Drew McDowall and Thighpaulsandra's talents.

Like "Musick“ it is an essentially tidal/lunar record with literal washes of sound enveloping the listener. Intensely engaging tracks like "The Avatars“ and the later concert tour-de-force "I don't want to be the one“ owe equal amounts to drone and kraut, but are quintessentially Coil.

The record was re-imagined and enhanced a short time later, but even this more widely available re-edition on Coil's own Thresholdhouse imprint has been unavailable for too long now.
