Phobia Effect reimagines Coil's 1998 'Time Machines' ambient classic
Phobia Effect, the electronic / EBM project of Luxembourg singer and musician Juda A, will release a new remix of the Coil 1998 ambient classic “Time Machines”, which was originally released under the one-off project alias Time Machines.
Entitled simply “Phobia Effect Presents: Time Machines”, the reimagined album will be released via Rune Serpent Europa on 21 June 2025, with distribution via The Circle Music. The release features the original experimental music by Drew McDowall, John Balance and Peter Christopherson reworked by Juda A. Each track is named after a psychoactive or dissociative compound. The intention by Coil was to create sound that induces a time-warping, meditative experience.
“Phobia Effect Presents: Time Machines” will be available in the following numbered limited editions: 250 vinyl records in four different colours (black, red, white, and transparent) and 500 CDs, each with a numbered sticker.
You can pre-order the release now via The Circle Music. Below is a first teaser.
In further Phobia Effect news, a debut album “Contemporary Human” will come later this year as a double CD. A second album is also already in the works, called “The Post Effect” which offers a completely different and opposite approach full of distortions, completely ambient, without vocals “and very close to the rave scene” so Juda A says. Phobia Effect’s Juda A is also involved in the projects Experimental Death Patient and Amphoterism (with Lisa Hammer).
The project was initially launched via the split EP “Incub Dream Vol. I” featuring tracks by both Pink Panther Project and Phobia Effect.
