What is your substance, whereof are you made,
That millions of strange shadows on you tend?
Since every one hath, every one, one shade,
And you, but one, can every shadow lend.
Describe Adonis, and the counterfeit
Is poorly imitated after you;
On Helen's cheek all art of beauty set,
And you in Grecian tires are painted new:
Speak of the spring and foison of the year;
The one doth shadow of your beauty show,
The other as your bounty doth appear;
And you in every blessed shape we know.
In all external grace you have some part,
But you like none, none you, for constant heart.
Coil è stato un gruppo musicale sperimentale inglese attivo dal 1982 al 2004. Fondato da John Balance (conosciuto anche come Jhonn Balance) e Peter Christopherson (Sleazy), il duo ha esplorato generi musicali diversi, tra cui industrial, ambient, noise e musica elettronica. Il nome Coil deriva dalla forma a spirale presente in natura, un elemento che per Balance rappresentava l'universalità e la pervasiveness del suono. Coil è considerato uno dei gruppi industriali più influenti di sempre, noto per le sue atmosfere dark, sperimentali e spesso inquietanti. Le loro opere sono caratterizzate da una complessa combinazione di suoni elettronici, campionamenti, voci gutturali e testi che esplorano temi come la spiritualità, il misticismo, la sessualità e la morte. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "Horse Rotorvator", "Ostia" e "The Ape of Naples". Oltre a Balance e Christopherson, Coil ha collaborato con numerosi artisti, tra cui Thighpaulsandra, Drew McDowall e Ossian Brown.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
