Great Set! Nice to see Coil make the rotation. Coil is easily the most under appreciated band of the modern era. Dark River would make a perfect addition to any Dark Wake set.
Another brilliant set list Matt! Controlled Bleeding & MCL – well done!
Its funny my friend sent me the wax trax black box 3cd collection and my favorite one is disc 2 with coil, doubting Thomas and controlled bleeding’s words of the dying.
