Scatalogy and Angelic Conversations are  my least favorites. I would
recommend the Unnatural History 1, How to Destroy Angels, Stolen and
Contaminated, Gold is the Metal, Hellraiser themes, Love Secret
Domain, and Horse Rotorvator. They are all good starting points. I
didn't care for the other Unnatural Histories as much, because I
already had alot of the tracks on them, but they may suit you more
since you don't have them.

Scatalogy is a weak release for them. I don't know why people think
it's that great. Some of the Elph stuff didn't do much for me either,
it's ok.

Speaking of Coil does anyone know if that Autechre/Coil Collaboration
is ever going to come out. It was part of the Intercourse Series.
Sounded pretty cool. I think Labradford and Coil were suppose to
collaborate also. And maybe Download if there was time. Isn't Coil
suppose to have a cd on Nothing coming out?
