Coil (band)
Coil were an English experimental music group formed in 1982 in London and dissolved in 2005. Initially envisioned as a solo project by musician John Balance (of the band Psychic TV), Coil evolved into a full-time project with the addition of his partner and Psychic TV bandmate Peter Christopherson (formerly of pioneering industrial music group Throbbing Gristle). Coil's work explored themes related to the occult, sexuality, alchemy, and drugs while influencing genres such as gothic rock, neofolk and dark ambient. AllMusic called the group "one of the most beloved, mythologized groups to emerge from the British post-industrial scene." After the release of their 1984 debut EP '' How to Destroy Angels'', Coil joined Some Bizzare Records, through which they released two full-length albums, ''Scatology'' (1985) and '' Horse Rotorvator'' (1986). In 1985, the group began working on a series of soundtracks, among them the rejected score for the first '' Hellraiser'' film. After depa ...

He is widely considered one of the greatest directors in cinema history. His films explore spiritual and metaphysical themes and are known for their slow pacing and long takes, dreamlike visual imagery and preoccupation with nature and memory. Tarkovsky studied film at the All-Union State Institute of Cinematography under filmmaker Mikhail Romm and subsequently directed his first five features in the Soviet Union: '' Ivan's Childhood'' (1962), ''Andrei Rublev'' (1966), '' Solaris'' (1972), ''Mirror'' (1975), and '' Stalker'' (1979). After years of creative conflict with state film authorities, he left the country in 1979 and made his final two films—'' Nostalghia'' (1983) and '' The Sacrifice'' (1986)—abroad. In 1986, he published '' Sculpting in Time'', a book about cinema and art. He died later that year of cancer, a condition possibly ca ...
