During the transitional period in which Coil’s primary leadership (Peter “Sleazy” Christopherson and John Balance) reorganized their creative direction by taking on new membership in the group through their inclusion of Drew McDowall, Coil took a drastic turn towards the metaphysical unknown. Employing the subtle handiwork of Coil’s “real life” members, as well as cleverly guised aliases and spiritual collaborators, the band chose to filter their identity through a the nome de guerre, Black Light District, setting the precedent of Coil’s future exploration of otherworldly influence. Recorded during the Winter of 1995/96, Black Light District leans more on their formal avant-garde pursuits and academic interests rather than their industrial pedigree resume. Starting off with an obvious nod to John Cage with their introductory “Unprepared Piano”, the tone is prepared in exactly the same way… unpredictable. Conceptually abstract, Black Light District shows Coil’s old guard disregarding the pop rhythms found on previous albums, such as Love's Secret Domain, and fully embracing their experimental electronic trajectory. Subtle patterns of looping melancholy and malaise are placed delicately underneath ghostly electronic timbre. Approaching their creative method as something from the beyond, another realm in which sounds blur and performers seemingly appear from the ether. Remastered by engineer Josh Bonati and supervised by Coil's Drew McDowall, Worship The Glitch is expanded onto double vinyl LP and packaged within a matte gatefold jacket with a replica vellum track listing insert and sticker. The compact disc edition in a matte card stock digipack with redesigned packaging. credits released May 25, 2018 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Analyzed Folder: Coil - Black Light District-A Thousand Lights in a Darkened Room_dr.txt ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DR        Peak         RMS        Filename                       ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DR09     -0.30 dB   -12.68 dB  01 - Unprepared Piano.flac     DR10     -0.30 dB   -13.50 dB  02 - Red Skeletons.flac       DR09     -0.30 dB   -11.70 dB  03 - Die Wölfe kommen zurück.flac DR12     -0.30 dB   -17.17 dB  04 - Refusal of Leave to Land.flac DR16     -1.82 dB   -20.64 dB  05 - Stoned Circular I.flac   DR09     -0.28 dB   -12.84 dB  06 - Stoned Circular II.flac   DR13     -0.29 dB   -15.45 dB  07 - Green Water.flac         DR10     -0.30 dB   -12.76 dB  08 - Cold Dream of an Earth Star.flac DR08     -0.30 dB     -9.69 dB  09 - Blue Rats.flac           DR09     -0.30 dB   -11.26 dB  10 - Scratches and Dust.flac   DR08     -0.30 dB   -10.41 dB  11 - London's Lost Rivers.flac DR09     -0.30 dB   -14.01 dB  12 - Chalice.flac             ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Number of Files: 12 Official DR Value: DR10 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
