    John Balance and Peter Christopherson: Coil
    Coil
    Simple question: Who is your favorite band?
    Some people have a difficult time answering this question. I do not. Coil is on the top of my list, so far beyond even my second place band. For me, no one compares. No one even comes close. The breadth and scope of their catalogue is astounding. Their "music" defies catagorization (in my iTunes library, they are the only band listed as "unclassifiable"). Their vision is unsurpassed, they have no equal in my mind.

  • Music » Favorite Albums
    Everyone has albums they could listen to a hundred times in a row and never get tired of hearing. Albums you never skip a song on. Perfect 10's. These are some of mine.

    Coil: Musick To PLay In The Dark - Volume 1
    From Coil's "Moon Music" phase and probably the most appropriately titled album in the history of music. It's my default album for late night writing and coding.
    Coil: Musick To Play In The Dark - Vol. 1
    Juno Reactor: Beyond The Infinite
    Juno Reactor has a huge body of work, but Beyond The Infinite remains my favorite. It was my default late night driving music for, well, all the late night driving I used to do.
    Juno Reator: Beyond The Infinite
    Rosetta Stone: Chemical Emissions
    Easily the greatest Goth album ever created. Not only is it massive in length (71:22), every song is brilliant. Probably my most favorite album of all time.
    Rosetta Stone: Chemical Emissions
    The Misfits: American Psycho
    Yeah, yeah, I get crap about this one all the time. All the "purists" out there can suck it. This album kept me sane during my brief stint living in L.A.
    The Misfits: American Psycho
    Gravity Kills: Perversion
    By far the best of the three Gravity Kills albums. Every song here is great and it contains one of my favorite songs of all time, Disintegrate.
    Gravity Kills: Perversion
    Psykosonik: Unlearn
    I originally bought this album by mistake. Turned out to be one of the greatest mistakes I ever made. It is simply a masterpiece of Dream music.
    Psykosonik: Unlearn
    The Faint: Danse Macabre
    My good friend Andy introduced me to The Faint. If you've ever heard their music, you know why this album is here. Difficult to describe, amazing to listen to.
    The Faint: Danse Macabre
    Social Distortion: White Light White Heat White Trash
    Another album responsible for my survival while living in L.A. After I was photographed for New York Magazine, I was told I looked like Mike Ness. VICTORY!
    Social Distortion: White Light White Heat White Trash
    Covenant: Sequencer
    During my first DJ gig ever I played tracks from this album. That was the start of an amazing period of time in my life, one I'll never forget. This album is outstanding.
    Covenant: Sequencer
    That's enough for now. There's a lot more albums that belong here, I'll add them all as I get the time.
