INFO
The Threshold HouseBoys Ch oir was a project by Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson. Operating out of Bangkok, Th ailand, the Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV founding member started this audio and visual endeavour following Coil's end.
Despite the name, it was a solo project which relied heavily on computer generated vocals. The name was d erived from a play on words, combining the terms houseboy, house of boys, boys' choir, and Threshold House, which was Coil's own label. "Form Grows Rampant" is the soundtrack of a film shot by Christopherson (a video capture at the GinJae V egetarian Festival in the south of Thailand) and his first major musical project since the tragic death of John Balance and the subsequent demise of Coil.
The music is a suite of lenghty dense atmospherics that combine shudderin g electronics with sampled vocals, eerie digitalia, buried melodies and sinister undercurrents hinting at a gleaming heart of darkness, with a joyful melodic pr ogression that sounds positively triumphant towards the end of the disc. It's bo th Coil-esque and quite different, and undoubtedly is the worthy successor of th e legendary group that Christopherson created with his partner John Balance.
First released in small quantities in 2007 as a CD/DVD set, this is the first time it is released on vinyl, CD and digital. This reissue has been maste red from original files by Sidney Claire Meyer at former Deutsche Grammophon stu dios Emil Berliner in Berlin, using the half speed mastering process, and presse d on heavy vinyl.
File under COIL Forever, Erotic Trance, Religious IDM, Ecstatic Classical, Post Ethnic Industrial Exotica and best album ever hear d.
