One of the best albums ever.

Coil's 1991 release ‘Love's Secret Domain’ gets a well-deserved reissue and endearing appraisals from friends and fans alike. Welcome to the future, you're late...⁠⁠

Richard D. James, the man better known as Aphex Twin, has always cultivated an air of mystery around himself.
