about

"Broken Allures", the fifth LP from trio Jac Berrocal, David Fenech, and Vincent Epplay (following releases on Blackest Ever Black, Akuphone, KlangGalerie), furthers their unique recording style with a musique concrète approach to mixing, characterized by the distinctive sound and technique of musicians and producers. Fenech and Epplay have paired with legendary French musician Berrocal, renowned for his collaborations with Nurse With Wound, Vince Taylor, Jaki Liebezeit, Pascal Comelade, Sunny Murray etc. "Broken Allures" is arguably their most coherent and fully accomplished album to date.

For this album, the trio has invited two fantastic musicians to compose with them: COSEY FANNI TUTTI and JAH WOBBLE.

COSEY FANNI TUTTI (Throbbing Gristle, Chris & Cosey, COUM Transmissions) contributes vocals, cornet, and electric guitar in her unique style. She has also written lyrics for two tracks on the album and brings a radical touch to the instrumental track 'Viva la Hacienda', which, in her own words, recalls her time recording with Throbbing Gristle.

JAH WOBBLE (founding member of Public Image Limited, and collaborator with African Head Charge, Brian Eno, Björk, Holger Czukay, Jaki Liebezeit, Bill Laswell, Primal Scream, Evan Parker, Sinéad O'Connor etc) plays a deep bass line on one track. He adds his signature industrial dub sound, with deep sub-bass frequencies.

File next to Throbbing Gristle, early Clock DVA, Chris & Cosey, Bill Laswell, Master Musicians Of Jajouka.

REVIEWS:

"There's a quality running all the way through 'Broken Allures' that draws you into their futurist otherworld in a manner which feels like a creative peak. And while they further the noble French musique concrète tradition here, the addition of their electronically inclined guest players enables them to weave disparate but complementary oeuvres. Throbbing Gristle's Cosey Fanni Tutti and PiL founder Jah Wobble feature on the manipulated found sound and abstract jazz distortions with perfectly weighted aplomb" (Electronic Sound).

"A forward looking suite of songs... Broken Allures takes many twists and turns in a number of short playful and inventive vignettes of sound... While there's a nocturnal element reminiscent of Carter Tutti work to [Fanni Tutti's] tracks, 'Viva La Hacienda' is rooted in an industrial sound, unmistakably performed by Cosey... Broken Allures has been something of an unexpected treat and I'll certainly be digging into their previous releases. This is great stuff that's really worth seeking out" (Compulsion Online).

"Utterly compelling. A strange, interesting, fascinating, and irresistible mix match of sounds, samples and jazz-like tones that will draw you into its many layers over its forty-minute life span. Strange but also at the same time oddly beautiful" (8/10, Maximum Volume).

"This band really has the makings for a big big audience... This and all the band's previous records will eventually be known as undeniable classics and it's rip-roaringly enjoyable, lounging in the thick of things, watching rock n roll history unfold before our ears" (Jimmy Cochran).

"Un disco che solca territori inesplorati, puro spirito francese di avanguardia, alla scoperta di un esagono occulto e musicalmente ricchissimo, ospiti eccezionali e un differente senso di intendere la musica, scritta come un film che si guarda con la mente, perché gli occhi sono chiusi, viaggi mentali estesissimi e quasi perfezione... energia musicale e ritmica nella sua forma più pura" (In Your Eyes).

"Czas płynie, a trio, w pewnym sensie za każdym kolejnym razem, ukazuje nam swoje nowe oblicze. I za każdym razem podnosi poprzeczkę do góry... Pierwsze minuty dobiegające z głośników i uświadamiamy sobie jak bogate brzmienie, wręcz uchwytne fizycznie udało się uzyskać podczas pracy nad tym albumem. Jego ekspansywna kolorystyka wypełniająca przestrzeń, w jakiejkolwiek słuchamy tego albumu... Po takiej dawce niesamowitości rodzi się tylko jedno pytanie: co będzie następne?" (Anxious Magazine).

Love's Secret Domain (30th-anniversary edition)

It's a Coil album. I really need not say more than that, but I will. A one-of-a-kind electronic album that remains exciting over thirty years later. I love the acid-y techno bits and the vocoded vocals. Essential Coil album - essential electronic and post-industrial album. The title track is a masterpiece. polyat6742

This album is truly one of my favorite as it makes me think about the act of forgetting something when you don't want to. You can't control it and makes you feel miserable. This truly makes me enjoy the memories I can remember because there will be a point in time where it will be gone. tenr3d

love this record. Dark & lovely. vinyl (picture discs) is a treasure. the final 3, this, swanyard & the ape of Naples are an incredible postumous coil legacy. Danny Hyde deserves credit, technical marvel that he is. COIL left us with these, left this plane of existence & we are left pondering "what & where are Jhon & sleazy now?!? ".🖤✨ andybeagle
