New Matt Elliott Video "Something About Ghosts"

by Sandrine Romet Lemonne

This Immortal Coil


Listen to samples here
Ici D'Ailleurs have announced "The Dark Age Of Love", an album of reinterpretations of songs by Coil. Rather than being just another tribute compilation like the many that appeared after the tragic death of Coil's John Balance in november 2004, "The Dark Age Of Love" was recorded as a proper album by a collective of artists operating under the name This Immortal Coil. Members include Yann Tiersen, Sylvain Chauveau, Will Oldham and Matt Elliott.
Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson, Coil's surviving half, describes the album as "The most extra-ordinary, beautiful, and moving, re-interpretations of Coil I have ever heard!". Serious praise from someone who was a member of TG, Psychic TV and Coil!

The Lost Generation



Exile's Return: A Literary Odyssey of the 1920s (chronicles of the Lost Generation)

Cowley, a former editor at The New Republic magazine, belonged to the group of American expatriates in Paris, including Hemingway, Fitzgerald and Ezra Pound, that Gertrude Stein dubbed the "Lost Generation" in the 1920s.

He is credited with being among the first to recognize the brilliance of those writers and with rescuing William Faulkner from obscurity.
