FredeвЂs вЂњElphswhere MixвЂќ opts for what sounds like the ungrooved disc played through various delay and mixer effects to make a wash of glitches and screes, while COH sneaks out what might possibly be considered an extended mix/cover of the track as a suitable closing moment of the CD.ДЄmong the occasional Coil covers/smaplings was the appalling Great White Hype вЂњProtect YourselfвЂќ track a few years back, which twisted up вЂњProtectionвЂќ into a bizarre, horrifyingly unfunny Rap track about the groupвЂ™s back catalogue.

This could easily have led to some вЂњcoversвЂќ as interesting as those which have appeared of John CageвЂ™s вЂњ4вЂ™33вЂівЂќ вЂ“ and to a point, Steven Stapleton already did that schtick a few years back on the official How To Destroy Angels remix album. Fortunately, this is not the case with At The Threshold Moment, in that the contributors, drawn from members of the Coil email list, have chosen largely to make their pieces resemble remixes more often than not, or to produce tracks in the spirit of Coil instead of straight covers.ДЄ case in point are the two versions of вЂњAbsolute ElsewhereвЂќ, the joke for the uninitiated being that the original track was a blank B-side to the вЂњHow To Destroy AngelsвЂќ single.

This seems for some reason to be a particular problem with dodgy Goth cover bands taking apart their Eighties heroes, with all the panache of a pub-rock band in full boozy flight. The negative thing about tribute albums is that they can be an outlet for a bunch of otherwise unknown bands and artists to get some attention by producing variable-quality interpretations of their influencesвЂ™ music. Various вЂ“ At The Threshold Moment вЂ“ A Tribute To Coil Nigel AyersвЂ field recording of shamanic songs of Yemani upon installation of telephone equipment вЂ“ to bring good luck вЂ“ are particularly illuminating. Others hold a particular inquisitiveness and fascination with the human voice, and about the telephonic medium at large. Some of the contributions from the European contingent share a fascination with American evangelical speakers and Jack Chick-level Christianity. ItвЂ™s a great collection of sounds with which one can hector the answering machines of friends and enemies alike. One of the best compilations ever, I guaran-fвЂ™ing-tee it. Needless to say that you have to translate the text in your language!вЂќДЄnd thatвЂ™s precisely what is. And the fourth part is something specialвЂ¦ This booklet contains a lot of texts for those who practise karajoke for their machines. The third section contains material which you can leave on answering machines that you have called. You can use these to speak your own text (the Karajoke part).

The first part of the CD are ready made pieces, followed by a series of sound-only material. It contains a wide variety of sounds that you can load on your answering machine. вЂњThis CD celebrates the 100th cd release of Staalplaat. Yep, another packed month or three for the people at Mute. RecoilвЂ™s track вЂњJezebelвЂќ is the other revelation of the CD вЂ“ a bizarre and biblical rap with backing vocals provided by Diamanda Galas. Foil are in the noisy Nirvana realms with their track вЂњSuperhero No.1вЂќ. Holger Hiller is back with the minimal and demixed вЂњ CurmboxвЂњ. Great fun unless you happen to fall off the swings. (How many times can Big Black be safely mentioned in one month of reviewing?) ItвЂ™s a drone Rock epic thatвЂ™s been dragged kicking and screaming though a playground full of broken glass.

вЂњ Telstar RecoveryвЂќ is Hawkwind for the post- Big Black epoch. Cristian VogelвЂ™s latest single вЂњ WhipaspankвЂќ is a curious and wonderful chunk of techno.Д®choboy are one of the revelations for me. GoldfrappвЂ™s вЂњUtopiaвЂќ is generally pretty epic track with lots of big synths.ДЄdd N To (X) and Luke Slater provide moments of cute and groovesome Electro with вЂњ Plug Me InвЂќ and вЂњ All Exhale (Electropunk Mix)вЂќ respectively. Beneath it all the tune is still driven by a Synth Pop heart. вЂњFreedomвЂќ is boppy House number with sprinklings of Kraftwerk-y vocals. Erasure are back with their first single in three years. ThatвЂ™s a pretty varied mix, better than many compilations for sale.

You wonвЂ™t find it in the shops, unless you work in the shops.Дў000.3 has new releases from Erasure, Goldfrapp, Add N To (X), Cristian Vogel, Echoboy, Holger Hiller, Foil, Luke Slater, and Recoil. ItвЂ™s a compilation of the up and coming Mute (and Novamute) releases. What are the folks at Mute up to right now?ДЄdvance 2000.3 isn`t really an album as such.
