Coil – Amethyst Deceivers (Version 1) – Antwerp 2001 [AUD #1a]

Coil Amethyst Deceivers (Version 1) Live at Luchtbal, Antwerp, Belgium May 30, 2001 Feeling: Glowing Fourth live performance and third performance on the “Constant Shallowness Leads to Evil“ tour. First version with the Alexis AirFX, which John uses to make his voice sound alien for the rest of the tour. AUD #1a Taper: Unknown Quality: 8/10 Complete: Yes Length: 60 min Lowest Gen: M?, 192 kbps MP3 Comments: A small portion of “Higher Beings Command“ repeats between tracks 1 and 2. The first two songs have wild volume fluctuations. Quieter sound than AUD #1b and no peaking. “Constant Shallowness Leads to Evil” phase. Debut performance of “What Kind of Animal Are You?” The song replaced “Titan Arch” in the set from this point on. Rumor has it Coil recorded a studio version of the song, but it remains unreleased.
