Coil fans get ready for the Zos Kia album ’23’ out as a 2CD digibook
Zos Kia was formed by John Gosling (Mekon), John Balance (Coil) and Min augmented with guest Peter ‘Sleazy’ Christopherson (Throbbing Gristle). Their one and only long-play album “Transparent” was released in August 1983 on cassette by the now-defunct Nekrophile label in Austria. These were the first released recordings of both Coil and Zos Kia. It was re-issued years later by Coil (Threshold House / Eskaton) in an edited edition and just of recent, the entire recordings were reissued on CD and Vinyl which is available here.
But besides of “Transparent”, Zos Kia released 2 EPs on vinyl and recorded several tracks for compilations, as well as about an hour of unreleased material, which was recently found in John Gosling’s archives. Now the final and complete anthology of Zos Kia recordings are being released for the first time ever in a luxury digibook 2CD edition holding 23 tracks, which represents more than 2 hours of material in various styles.
Included are well-known tracks which are being offered in different forms, unknown, rare and unreleased compositions and much more. The 2 CD set comes in a deluxe digibook including some pages with informations & exclusive archive pictures. You can order this excellent set right here.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
