专辑介绍

by Dean Carlson

Two types of records usually have the highest potential for embarrassment: &comedy& records and &scary& records. Unlike an awful pub rock mistake or a tuneless ambient workout, there seems to be nothing more obnoxious than listening to a record that tries -- and fails -- to be either funny or frightening. Coil's Musick to Play in the Dark 2 takes the latter stab into forbidding, blood-velvet territory and consistently bungles it up. &Ether& ends with a magnificently processed, sincerely unsettling chant, but it takes almost 11 minutes of &cats + piano& melodies to get there. Elsewhere, opener &Something& takes a deeply effective, goth Gaia heartbeat and polishes it with cartoonish &menacing& swooshes and sirens that probably could be found on a two-buck &Boo! Halloween Hits!& supermarket CD. The sincerity of Coil should not be undervalued -- as work here and in the past can easily attest to -- it's the failure to harmonize it with a minimalist instinct that gets in the way. Because no matter how much somebody tries to tell you a joke or scare you, only the gifted can do it without sounding like a moron.
