Coil co-producer/collaborator/friend Danny Hyde is coming to the end of
nearly a year's work on his first solo album. Expected to be released in
early 2005, the record will feature vocals by Coil's Jhonn Balance on two
tracks - one a newly sung track entitled "Fj Nettlefold," the other
featuring vocals recorded several years ago but never release. It will also
include newly recorded versions of two Coil peices that Hyde was involved
in writing and producing, "Nasa Arab" and "An Unearthly Red" (renamed
"Unhealthy Red" and "Nasahara Arab" respectively). A website for the
project is in the works and will be launched in advance of the album's release.
