Elph Vs Coil
Worship The Glitch (blue)
During the studio sessions that developed into what would become "Worship the Glitch", Coil became aware of random
compositions emitting from their gear, and were at odds with constant "accidents" that were perpetually plaguing the
recordings. The band called these unintentional emissions "ELpH": a conceptual being that is one part physical
equipment, one part celestial being. constantly playing the role of trickster, throwing a wrench into Coil's
methodology. Eventually, these accidents and mistakes were embraced by the band, and the process of misusing audio
software to create intentional "errors" was adopted as a musical technique.
Originally released in 1995 on Coil's in-house imprint Eskaton, Worship the Glitch was Coil's first proper album-length
attempt at conceptual ambient composition, with a radical focus on chance. Seamless vignettes of shattered electronics
(though ebbing softly and in delicate balance with each other) provide an underlying uncertainty and discomfort to the
listener.
Remastered by engineer Josh Bonati and supervised by Coil's Drew McDowall, the vinyl release is pressed onto double 12"
LP vinyl (from the original 10" release), and is packaged in a gorgeous 24pt stock matte gatefold LP with sticker and
vellum track listing insert. Comes on black vinyl as well as limited editions on clear, red, and blue. Also available on
digipack CD and Digital.
