5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly good, 11 April 2002
By W. G. Hardy "gaz_23" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I could say quite a lot about Coil, and this album in particular - but I'll keep this as short as possible.
This is an astonishingly good album, and I'm wondering what's stopping me from saying that it's their best of all, because it pretty much is.

I read somewhere that this album was also an experiment by Messers Balance and Christopherson in sleep-deprivation. After several days of not sleeping, they piled into the studio and began the process of recording this. Perhaps that's what shines through and makes this memorable. Perhaps it's their change from sun-music to moon-music.

I'm not a huge fan of anything with vocals/lyrics, but I'm more than happy to make an exception for this and even sometimes find myself wailing along in my own off-key way.

Deep, dark, haunting, melodic, hypnotic. Throw as many euphamisms and adjectives at it as you want, the proof is in the listening.

5.0 out of 5 stars dark bliss, 28 April 2004
By D. Kerr "blackantlers" (Belfast) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This album is a must have in the Coil catalogue. Unique in the fact thatthis album works on both a song based level, and that of anelectro-acoustical soundworld, melding both into these unique pieces ofmusic. It may be 'music to play in the dark', but it certainly sheds newlight on a rejuvinated Coil, and volume 2 consolidates this fact as well.Buy it and succomb to it's serenity.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best album ever by the UK's best group?, 5 Jan 2002
Relief and vindication for the many people who have bought the bewildering slew of releases Coil have put out since 'Stolen & Contaminated Songs', 'Musick To Play In The Dark 1' is a genuine work of genius, coherent and stunning from start to finish. Brooding and as thick and heavy as blood throughout, the highlights include their dissection of the media cult of celebrity, 'Red Queen' ("Is it more real, does it make it more yours, now that you've been recorded as having said it?") and the classic 'Broccoli', an elegiac reminiscence on childhood as institutionalisation ("Remember to say 'thank you'. . . eat your greens, especially broccoli"). This is the first truly all killer, no filler, song-based Coil album since 'Love's Secret Domain', the ideal entry point for newcomers and a must for anybody who's ever had an interest in Coil's world or, indeed, innovative music(k) and genuinely moving songwriting.
