In high school, I discovered Bauhaus, Love & Rockets, and Tones on Tail…
The Album Pop is amazing. I collected all the crazy colored-vinyl 12” records.
Of all their songs, from goofy to darkly magnanimous, I love this one the best. So many cool elements – the bleeps, the low droning synths, the backwards stuff, the bassline, the reverse-reverb vocals… they all add up to a seriously epic masterpiece…

She said, Time to crush this feeling
Writing very long letters as soon as it rains
Ooh the rain

To dance the night away
He watches topless pin-up faces
A million different jackpots
With a thousand different gazes
Ooh the rain

But it’s time to crush this feeling
As soon as it rains
Ooh the rain

But it’s time to crush this feeling
As soon as it rains
Ooh the rain . . .

COIL - The Dark Age of Love

''Now you see why I'm not scared to die
I saw a vision of an angel of the
World lay down and die
The earth is full of ghosts now
Ghosts that sweat and ghosts that cry
Instead of peace just stop and cease
A final end, a sweet release

The language of love is the language of liars
The flames of all love become funeral pyres
Smoke gets in your eyes and grown men cry
I see young men led to an early
Grave and old men pray to die
The earth is full of ghosts now
Ghosts that sweat and ghosts that cry
Instead of peace just stop and cease
A final end, a sweet release

The shipwreck to the shore
From the client to the whore
From the shadow to the sun
From the bullet to the gun
The earth is full of ghosts now
Ghosts that sweat and ghosts that cry
Instead of peace just stop and cease
A final end, a sweet release

The moment you discover that your killer is your lover
I kill all that I love, I just destroy what I become
The earth is full of ghosts now
Ghosts that sweat and ghosts that cry
Instead of peace just stop and cease
A final end, a sweet release''
