Yeah, they have some very `eavy stuff! But what I like the most in Fishbone is their large scale of styles: from heavy funk to light ska. And they have also some very beatiful songs like Black Flowers in "Give Monkey...". And their flirting with different styles is so natural, there are no big contrasts as for example Bad Brains have (hardcore punk/reggae, though I like Bad Brains also). And I think they are the most obscene for the "funk-metal" bands!

It's a Japanese band called Coil, nothing to do with the UK band.

I know:)

As stu666 has mentioned, this actually has nothing to do with COIL. Only thing in common between this japanese combo and Jhonn Balance and company's band is the sharing of the same name. Sound-wise, they aren't in any way similar, either. I tried to point that out in my former post. By listing the line-up that performed that show, i thought i'd make it clear this was a different entity. My apologies, it seems i'm not very articulate sometimes. I think you might have been expecting something different from this recording. I'm glad you enjoyed what you heard, though.

So yeah, this ain't listed at COIL's discogs database, because it is a different band; and even if it were actually the COIL we are familiar with, i think it wouldn't be at discogs either, considering that it's not an officially released album, or even a bootleg that has circulated as a silver CD. This is actually a recording of a live performance taped by a member of the audience most likely with a DAT recorder, and i bet it came originally from dimeadozen, or a similar tracker. I wish i could have more info, but i've already posted all i've got.

"The band are Keiji Haino [vocals, gtr, harmonica], Natsuki Kido , Takeharu Hayakawa and Eiji Tanaka . This is a fine DAT audience recording, never released before. Distributed as free MP3 download by Naughty Dog label (at least it’s said so on the PDF booklet)."

I think i've never noticed before that the booklet stated where it came from.

Thanks for that bit of info. Much appreciated.

I checked discogs' listing on the Naughty Dog Label and found a bit more information about this Keiji Haino & Coil recording. Apparently, it was taped with a Sony D-100 recorder with Core Sound Binaural mics.

Thanks again, stu!

Yeah, there's an abundance of instrumental work by him. He seems to have love and deep interest in a huge variety of instruments and that gets reflected in his work. However, there are still recordings that actually contain actual songs, though his vocals are very versatile as well. Some records where you can hear Keiji Haino singing that immediately spring to mind:

• Black Blues
  A good example of how versatile he is when exploring vocal territory. There are two versions of the same songs, both different, both great. The violent version contains the most similar approach to vocals that he did on that Coil recording. The other one is well worth a listen, too.

• Koko
  Haino on acoustic guitar and vocals. Beautiful stuff. Interesting artifact, although you might wanna skip it and go for some other thing if Haino's subtle work ain't actually the thing you like about him the most. I think it's impossible to find a copy of this one, but there must be an MP3 version out there at some blogs.
  
  
• To Start With, Let's Remove The Colour!
  A glacial recording of gentle guitar and ghostly vocals.

• Keiji Haino & Derek Bailey-Songs
  Derek Bailey on guitar and Haino on vocals. Awesome combo.

• Keiji Haino & Shoji Hano-The Strange Face.
  Wild improvisation with bursts of vocals, both guttural and sweet.

This is a broad subject and i'm pretty sure there are many people on this board with better and bigger Haino collections than mine, but i still hope i'm able to lend you a hand. Maybe someone else would like to jump to this thread, and recommend even more stuff, that would be absolutely great.
