Includes index."Coil. Current 93 Nurse with Wound" -- Front cover, Title page.Previous edition: Wembley: SAF, 2003."Expanded edition featuring new interviews and reflections" -- Back cover."Based on exclusive interviews and unprecedented access to all three bands' personal archives, this is the definitive biography of Coil, Current 93 and Nurse With Wound. Together, these genre-defying bands and their circles represent the English underground in all its cultural, artistic and sexual variety. Over four decades, the three intertwined groups have maintained a symbiotic, yet uneasy, relationship with the mainstream of popular culture, even as their beliefs and practices have repelled them from it. Theirs is a clandestine scene whose work accents the many occulted peculiarities of Englishness that flow through generations of outsiders, channelling personalities as diverse as Aleister Crowley, MR James, Joe Orton, Björk and Marc Almond. The story of this Hidden Reverse has, necessarily, remained a secret.
