Coil Hellraiser themes

[the evils]

I know they've been talked about here ad nauseum but I finally got around to
downloading them on napster and damned if they don't kick every bit as much
ass as everyone said they would. Once I found myself hooked on Coil I also
downloaded vols 1 and 2 of Musick to Play in the Dark. While not as
singularly impressive as the Hellraiser themes I was still impressed and was
wondering if any Coil-ophites out there can recommend any other CDs I might
like.

Could somebody tell me a bit about what this music is like?

Also.... how much Hellraiser-inspired stuff have they done?

Coil was a member of Trent Reznor's early Nine Inch Nails camp (yeah, Trent
basically makes the albums himself, but he has input from friends who later
appear on his tours and in his videos...such is Coil).

That's quite close; it's pretty similar to Nine Inch Nails. I'm not sure
it would have worked as a soundtrack to Hellraiser, even though the
tracks themselves are good. They do feel slightly dated to me and I
can't quite reconcile them with the visuals of the film.

It may just be that I'm so used to the film with Christopher Young's
score that it's become linked in my memory. What would be interesting
would be a DVD release with an alternate soundtrack. Or does that
already exist?

alternately, his music may have matched an entirely different cut of the film.
I know I'm on the edge of my seat to have Tangerine Dream's music set to the
forthcoming Ridley Scott's LEGEND dvd, because rumors now have a UK/US hybrid
cut of the film making up the DVD featuring Jerry Goldsmith's music. I'm
telling you right now that the American market isn't buying a cut of that film
with Mia Sara and Tom Cruise lip-syncing to panflutes and vocalists. It may be
what the international audience remembers and likes, but the US got a wholly
DARKER vision of the film with TD's foreboding music that we call our own.

Tangerine Dream's LEGEND is available on CD in the US, and I HIGHLY reccomend
everyone get it. "the Blue Room" on the disc is especially haunting, and "the
Dance" makes much more sense.
