The title Horse Rotorvator is explained in the liner notes as a device large enough to “plough up the waiting world,” created from the bones of the horses of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The Bay City Rollers this isn’t. On the group’s second full album, Coil continue the refinement of brute noise and creepily serene arrangements into a truly modern psychedelia, from tribal drumming and death march guitars to disturbing samples and marching band samples and back. Balance shares the same haggard, mystic vocal delivery common to fellow explorers of the edge like David Tibet and Edward Ka-Spel, but he has his own blasted and burnt touch to it all. His lyrical subjects range from emotional extremism of many kinds to blunt, often homoerotic imagery (matched at points in the artwork and packaging) and meditations on death. As a result the cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Who by Fire” isn’t as surprising as one might think. Past guest Marc Almond appears again on the track with backing vocals, as well as adding them to “Slur,” which is composed of an unsettling mix of harmonica, bells, percussion and whatever else can be imagined. Other guests include Almond’s then-musical partner Billy McGee, adding a haunting, sometimes grating, string arrangement to “Ostia,” which is about the murder of radical Italian filmmaker Pasolini, and Clint Ruin, aka Foetus, adding his typically warped brass touches to “Circles of Mania.” Paul Vaughan narrates the lyrics on “The Golden Section,” creating a stunning piece that in its combination of demonic imagery and sweeping, cinematic arrangements holds a common ground with In the Nursery. All the guests help contribute to the album’s overall effect, but this is Coil’s own vision above all else, eschewing easy cliches on all fronts to create unnerving, never easily digested invocations of musical power.
