Presents: (Coil) Time Machines

New COIL “Time Machines” remix coming from EBM project Phobia Effect. A reverent reinterpretation of Coil’s 1998 ambient masterpiece.Phobia Effect, the Electronic/EBM project of Luxembourg singer and musician Juda A, will release a new remix of the Coil 1998 ambient classic “Time Machines” (originally released under the one-off project alias Time Machines). Entitled simply “Phobia Effect Presents: Time Machines“, the reimagined album will be released via Rune Serpent Europa on 21 June 2025, with exclusive distribution via The Circle Music.With an unwavering devotion to the legacy of Coil, Phobia Effect has revisited this album, enriching it with subtle new layers of sound, mixed and remixed with originality and profound care. This reinterpretation stays true to the conceptual core of the source material while offering a fresh and hauntingly familiar listening experience. The album unfolds as a mesmerising journey through apocalyptic yet meditative ambient soundscapes, rich in texture and nuance. At times hypnotic and intense, and at others strangely soothing, it evokes a sensation of transcending linear time, inviting listeners into forgotten dimensions and psychic territories.“Phobia Effect Presents: Time Machines” features the original groundbreaking experimental music by Drew McDowall, John Balance and Peter Christopherson. Juda A‘s approach captures the delicate balance between chaos and clarity that defined Coil’s work, where moments of raw energy are tempered by profound stillness, creating a unique and timeless audio atmosphere.As John Balance once reflected, “Telepathine is one of the constituent compounds of Yage, the complex hallucinogenic Shamans drink that can be brewed in as many ways as there are Shamans. I think Telepathine was one of the first to be identified as being present in the brew and as one of Yage’s powers is to bestow telepathy on participants, that’s how it got its name.”Phobia Effect channels this spirit of alchemical transformation, creating a sonic architecture where parallel dimensions converge. This is more than a remix; it’s an introspective and ritualistic journey for those willing to immerse themselves in its sonic depths.
