Coil: Colour Sound Oblivion

About This Movie

So, Coil: Colour Sound Oblivion is this fascinating 16 DVD box set that really dives into the avant-garde world of Coil's live performances. It's not just a collection; it's an atmospheric journey through their unique soundscapes. The recordings capture different eras, from the early 80s in London to the early 2000s across Europe. The pacing varies significantly, reflecting the evolution of their sound, with some segments feeling almost hypnotic. The visuals are a trip too, often abstract and ethereal, complementing their music perfectly. Plus, you get a real sense of their stage presence and how they engaged with their audiences, which is distinctively different from typical concert films. It creates this immersive experience that’s hard to put into words, but you feel it.
