Background

"Something" was originally released in studio format on the album Musick To Play In The Dark Vol. 2 . "Higher Beings Command" was originally released in studio form on Constant Shallowness Leads To Evil . "Amethyst Deceivers" was originally released on the single "Autumn Equinox". "What Kind Of Animal Are You?" has never been given a proper studio release, but was likely inspired by a track "For Us They Will" from Gold is the Metal . "Blood From The Air" was originally released in studio form on the album Horse Rotorvator . "The Green Child" originally appeared on the album Constant Shallowness Leads To Evil . The finale, "Constant Shallowness Leads to Evil", is musically based on the latter half of the album of the same name, with its lyrics derived from a portion of "Tunnel of Goats".

An official VHS of this concert was released as Live In Moscow . This (along with an alternate video angle version) is also included on the 'Colour Sound Oblivion' 16DVD box set.

For this recording, Coil were: Jhon Balance, Peter Christopherson, Thighpaulsandra and Tom Edwards.

This album is currently available in CD format at Coil's official website, Thresholdhouse.com.
