Ummmm... maybe because different people like different things? For it's
time, Scatology was the shit (no pun intended). I notice that most newer
Coil fans don't like it nearly as much, but us oldsters still groove on
it. Horse Rotorvator is better, though, and sits up in my top 5 albums
*ever*.

Still being worked on. Coil received material from Ae almost a year ago
now, and are taking their usual sweet time with it.

Coil vs Download ain't gonna happen. It was little more than a rumour
started by an over-eager record label.

Yes. It's due out early next year.
