• the first coil track i ever heard was their terrifying version of 'tainted love' (from Scatology. Their peculiarly english blend of occult mysticism, deeply wierd noise, filth, blood and fear (and fucking amazing musicianship) were enough to set them apart from any other art-rock experiment - none of einsturzende neubauten's excursion into actual rock, for example. Their willingness to plumb the depths of history, of magic(k), of the unheimlich regions of our humanity have always left me bewildered and fascinated. A sad loss.

• While his death saddens me ... the irony of it amuses me. I guess that is to be expected
