This 2000 release on Dais Records captures Coil midway through their transition into a more ethereal electronic sound, moving away from their earlier industrial roots. The album features drawn-out, atmospheric tracks that emphasize texture and mood over traditional song structures.
- "Queens of the Circulating Library" was originally released on CD by Dais Records on April 2, 2000.
- The album was later reissued on vinyl by Dais Records in 2018.
- This release is often seen as a bridge between Coil's more abrasive earlier work and their later, more ambient material.
Coil was an experimental music group founded in London in 1982, best known for their work in industrial music and arcane electronic soundscapes. "Queens of the Circulating Library" arrived at a time when the group was exploring a more refined, often ambient, electronic sound, following a period of intense activity in the mid-to-late 90s.
