Any sources for this?
Might be trivial but I cannot find a primary source or quote from Peter that confirms this. Anyone know?
I, THIGHPAULSANDRA album cover
Ive been exploring Thighpaulsandra's genius discography for atleast 6 months now. One of the covers that i love the most aside from "The Golden Communion" Is the one from his debut álbum "I, thighpaulsandra". The cliffs, the almost-majestic landscape taken from a magical world and the emphasis on thighpaulsandra's magic wand Is way too beautiful for me, enough to also make me admire the extreme geography of my region. So im wondering if theres a way to get a high quality press of the image of the entire album cover so i can make It a poster and place It on my room? I dont seem to find any high quality pics aside from the separate ones in discogs, wich are also sadly low quality by themselves. Theres also not a poster of this on TPS official page. So if someone could lend me a hand with high quality pics i would really really appreciate It
Sleazy's Hipgnosis Work
Knowing that Peter was working for Hipgnosis around the time of this last Walker Brothers release (Nite Flights — 1978), I wonder if he designed the cover, or had some input on the style.
Is there any definitive list of which visual artist(s) at Hipgnosis worked on which album layout?
Wear Sensible Shoes - a Coil Guided Tour of London - Solstice Edition!
Who's up for next month's Coil walk?
This is Wear Sensible Shoes, my Coil-centric guided walk that since 2019 has explored London's outer realms.
This year, the three different walks are all around the Solstice week - Sat 20, Sun 21 and Fri 26 June. Good light and good weather followed by rest, refreshments & conversation that usually goes on til dusk.
The walk dips into many locations of the band's biography, song themes, album art, photo shoots and twenty years of associated Coil-lore. The exact locations will be revealed as the walk itself unfolds. Be sure that the city of London is packed with relevant locations and the routes taken merely scritch the surface of Coil's darkly shining domain.
Three price tiers from £22 to £55 as some indoor locations require separate ticketed access.
This year, the walk includes a bonus extra for all attendees. Shadows for Sale will be an ePub digital book which cobbles together the various Coil essays I've written over the last few years, expanded updated and corrected. Plus a few extra relevant images from my own archive. It's currently around 30K words. This will be sent to attendees ahead of the walk along with a few other bits and bobs which will help the walk you attend make sense.
Places still remain and can be booked in advance here:

See you on the Marylebone Road, and of course wear sensible shoes!
The Philip K. Dick & Coil connection
I was reading Dick's "A Maze of Death" the other day and found this very familiar sentence:
>"One day," Babble said, "your pills are going to hatch, and some strange birds are going to emerge."
Which, of course, reminded me of Coil's "Strange Birds". I vaguely recall some articles about the band or interviews with Balance and Sleazy declaring their interest in Dick's works, but cannot put my finger on it. I guess the sentence is too similar to the lyrics, so it's hardly a coincidence, unless there are another sources and/or explanations. Anyone?
Coil and Kill List
I watched a few Ben Wheatley films this week and today I saw Kill List. I was astounded when a character was dying after being attacked and his last words were, “It just is…”
