Infinite Fog are delighted to present another piece of the intriguing Coil puzzle. In the mid 1990s the core team of John Balance and Peter Christopherson were continuing their exploration of the outer reaches of electronic sound production as exemplified by the 'Born Again Pagans' release, originally an EP only, featuring both the hugely danceable 'Protection' smash which had Danny Hyde's influence writ in large letters all over it, as well as the first outings of their intriguing more ambient/glitch-based ElpH material, probably their most haunting and haunted works. This 2CD anthology re-edition collects all of the ElpH material which didn't appear on their later 'Worship The Glitch' album, namely the 'pHILM #1' 10", a host of very rare compilation tracks as well as a number of at the time unreleased pieces in the same vein. The stunningly presented release also features the ElpH entity's last ever appearance originally available as part of Raster Noton's award winning 20 to 2000 series of releases, the 'Zw�lf' EP. All of the material has been lovingly remastered by Jessica Thompson with re-imagined design-work by Oleg Galay and it includes a replica of the original St. Sebastian on acid poster.
