    The Humbucking Coil's captivating soundscapes evoke more emotion via machines than most bands can with "real" instruments. [Mar 2006, p.138]

    This increased humanism lends Fleischmann’s compositions an evolutionary sense of dynamism, thawing out his stern soundscapes.

    A languid mood piece with discreet variations, Coil is a pleasant, if homogeneous, listening experience.

    This album is really good to hear from start to end. Each song is related to the other in some way.

    quietness, clicks, and drones, and beats to keep it moving, the occasional voice only distracts
