Forgotten.......2006-11-30

One of my all time fav cd's from back in the day. Every song here was ripe and juicy, especially the first few. I found this cd used about 6 or 7 years ago and since then it doesn't even seem to exist anymroe. What a shame.

Dynamic, Diverse, But Not Over Done.......2005-10-15

As a big fan of industrial and electronic music I've been exposed to a large amount of good and bad albums. I count the Los Angeles based Spahn Ranch's "The Coiled One" in the good column. When I used to vend music at industrial and goth clubs I made a point to turn a few younger industrial music fans onto this album. (As an interesting aside, "Spahn Ranch" is also the name of the old western filming set that Charles Manson's gang was based from.)

My favorite tracks (which you can listen to) include "Locusts" and "Compression Test". Locusts is fairly upbeat and aggressive, while Compression Test is a much slower and measured track that is more reminiscent of older Belgian-styled electronic body music (EBM). Others have suggested listening to "Heretic's Fork", and though it is not my favorite track, it is still a good track and very representative of this album. Please listen to all three tracks and decide for yourself if you like this album.

Other tracks like "The Judas Cradle" can be best described as good guitar based industrial akin to KMFDM or Denmark's Birmingham 6. Overall, this album represents a good mix of guitars and electronics and non distorted vocals.

Hard Electro/EBM classic!.......2003-08-02

This is one of my all time favorite EBM cd's. Every track is excellent. The Coiled One is definetly a desert island disc for any electro industrial fan! Check out Heretics Fork, one of the all time classic EBM /club tracks.

more static..........2002-12-24

I've had this CD for a couple of years and still like it. I'm not a huge fan of this genre -- I'm more into techno/trance/dance/house these days -- but if you like interesting synth-heavy dark/goth industrial like such better-known bands as Xymox, Delerium (early), Front 242 have made at times you may like Spahn Ranch.

I do have to add that I like "Architecture" better than "The Coiled One", and for some reason I didn't really appreciate or fully grok this CD until after I'd heard "Architecture" several times; then I got it. Funny how that it is... Anyway, this is a pretty good if not great CD, definitely on the moody/harsh/angry side. Maybe not 4 stars, but definitely more than 3 1/2.
