Final gig. Only performance of all songs, an originally planned 5-song set with the overall title “Stranded With Gifts” (within which a performed song shares the same name).
On September 13th 2004, Peter performed “The Art of Mirrors (Homage to Derek Jarman)” live at L’Étrange Festival in the Forum des Halles, Paris, France, a score to the films of Derek Jarman. Little information is available, but much of his set seems to be comprised of proto-Threshold HouseBoys Choir material, along with some Coil samples and songs. Note the incorporation of the bird noises later used on “Stranded With Gifts” and “Going Up” at Dublin and the performances of “Sex With Sun Ra (Part One – Saturnalia)” and a very early version of the soon-to-be-classic “Going Up”!
In the Coil mailing list archives, John Balance said this of the Dublin show on October 16th: “In Dublin we are doing a 5-sectioned piece called STRANDED WITH GIFTS(MOTH). All new material.” The material was set to be recorded and released as The Telesmatic Tree in the King Scale, which sadly never came to be.
Gone are the costumes, the props, and the general theatrics Coil had been known for for over 4 years. John wore a dress shirt and tie, Peter and Thighpaulsandra wore different sweaters, and Cliff wore ordinary clothes. The only visual staple is the fog machine.
John’s vocals during “Going Up” were later used on the studio version of the song found on The Ape of Naples.
