Coilectif (2lp)
"In Memory Of Jhon Balance And Homage To Coil". Deluxe crystal numbered and stamped vinyl limited edition of 400 copies. 17 French bands from the genesis of industrial, experimental, free jazz musics, for the most part unclassable underground musics, and more recent and emergent artists from the same vein, form "COILECTIF". These artists explore and express what Coils heritage suggests to them, an opportunity to make an homage to Geff Rushton aka John Balance or Jhon[n] who left us on November 13th 2004. "Coilectif" is also an homage to all the musicians and illustrators Scherer & Ouporov participating to the project united for the first time in such an outline. It is a genuine concept of creation in which this collective of artists homogenizes itself around a real artistic project. The 17 new tracks form an intimate, magnetic and timeless piece of work. The vinyl edition and the CD are accompanied by various quotes from several artists and by a text written for the project by the writor and philosopher Jean-Marc Vivenza, called mditation sur la mort.
