Although
Time Machines wasn't precisely credited to
Coil, upon its arrival in early 1998 the CD was the first full-length of new material
Balance,
Christophersen, et al., released in nearly seven years. An hour-long meditation on drone ostensibly inspired by the psychophenomenological properties of hallucinogenic drugs,
Time Machines is constructed entirely from cycling, oscillating synth tones, and continues in the vein of shapeless experimentalism established with
Black Light District and
Worship the Glitch. Enjoyable, if a mite limited in scope.
