One of these days I’ll write a proper review for this solid tome, but in the meantime, if you know who Coil, Current 93, and Nurse With Wound even are, chances are you’re probably a fan which can only mean one thing – get this book. Like the Throbbing Gristle book, Wreckers of Civilisation, this is one of the most comprehensive and important books chronicling a cadre of people whose eccentricity, artistic dedication, and uncompromising worldview is virtually unmatched in late 20th century music. They are part of a lineage of outsider culture that exists in the margins if for no other reason than that is where popular culture has seen fit to place authenticity for centuries. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of books about the music and musicians toiling in virtual, cultural obscurity, but this is one of them, and this one is not to be missed.
