jimmyd.0 I bought this album in 2010, jewel case at that time. It grew on me heavy after having it for a year or so. I was more focused on other albums. The neat history of the release. It's so gentle in it's flow. It's textures are timeless. I'm so grateful it's getting a merch boost too. Stellar Favorite track: We Have Always Been Here.

christopherogley I love this album because it's impeccable music. Not an ounce of fat. Songs of praise Favorite track: Opium Hum.

karl lovblad Another great Coil record

maxmatson this is my favorite coil recording along with "gold is the metal" and the "protection" EP and you can't help but throw in "constant shallowness leads to evil" this led me down a beautiful track of the more weirder coil got..? the better!🎛️👌 I remember my first album of theirs was "Black light district" and then after that I got the first and second of the "unnatural History" compilations... what a way to start! 🎧🙏 Favorite track: Clorax Hurd.

Levrikon A series of short electronic pieces made via chance accidents. More 'interesting' than something you'd listen to regularly, it's still a great example of 'the studio as composer' a la Nurse With Wound's 'Soliloquy for Lilith'.

Dais Records is proud to announce the official reissue of "ELpH vs Coil - Worship the Glitch". Remastered by engineer Josh Bonati and supervised by Coil's Drew McDowall.

"Unexplainable" may well be the best explanation for the members of the UK based electronic outfit COIL. Making a radical shift from intentional accessibility, by means of traditional pop songwriting, to abstract happenstance, Coil had entered into a new phase in their career…uncharted waters utilizing what was then the newest computer technology, digital and analog synthesis and the newly formed ideas that something outside of themselves was steering the ship.

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. The acceptance of the "mistake", and the use of discovered mistakes as intentional elements slowly became the drive and concept behind the album, thus birthing the title “Worship the Glitch.”

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.

love this record. Dark & lovely. vinyl (picture discs) is a treasure. the final 3, this, swanyard & the ape of Naples are an incredible postumous coil legacy. Danny Hyde deserves credit, technical marvel that he is. COIL left us with these, left this plane of existence & we are left pondering "what & where are Jhon & sleazy now?!? ".🖤✨ andybeagle
