It hones an \"electro-erotics of sound,\" blending textural instrumental pieces with notable field recordings – including a drunken brass band captured in Mexico and a Thai boxing arena recorded by Sleazy. A key moment of serendipity is found in ‘Metal In The Head’, which features a malfunctioning Fairlight sampler randomly rearranging and distorting the music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemastered under the guidance of original member Stephen Thrower, this new edition features restored artwork, previously unseen imagery and new sleeve notes, and marks the start of a new reissue series through The Grey Area of Mute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEstablished in 1982 by Peter Christopherson (Sleazy) and John Balance, Coil began as an art and music project before expanding into a trio with Thrower in 1984. Their work remains a profoundly influential and enigmatic force within industrial and experimental music, fearlessly exploring themes of queerness, sex, drugs, magick and freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: Mute\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PIAS \/ Cinram","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62920854110595,"sku":"COIL3","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/6872\/files\/Screenshot2026-10-19at12.46.29.png?v=1792410432","url":"https:\/\/beartreerecords.com\/products\/coil-gold-is-the-metal-with-the-broadest-shoulders-lp","provider":"Bear Tree Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
