These songs are as diverse and wild as the places they originated from, partly infamously spawned in Sharon Tate’s former home in the Hollywood Hills, the Nine Inch Nails home base in New Orleans and London’s Swanyard, co-composed, remixed and restructured with the help of long-term friend Danny Hyde in Thailand, this collection has its own unique flow and an atmosphere not found on any other \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eCOIL\u003c\/span\u003e release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth “\u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eAYOR\u003c\/span\u003e” and “Backwards” had by the time the album was first released already become favourites in COIL’s manic live performances. Some of the other tracks had only leaked in demo versions and are here presented updated and polished as Christopherson and Hyde intended them to be heard.
