This album = "Backwards" "(1993?)""Backwards" was a studio bootleg recording by Coil. The origin of the source of "Backwards" is believed to have been a leak of the studio demo, in the form of a cassette [http://www.angelfire.com/electronic2/saamoa/pages/backwards.html] . However, the entire demo was broadcast when Dutch Radio4, a radio station in
Amsterdam , had Coil as in studio guests to coincide with a live performance on the date of 2001 June 01. The program was broadcast on 2001 June 18 and a four disc CD-R set of the entire broadcast, made by the radio station, was released in an unknown quantity as "Dutch Radio4 Supplement". Although part of the proposed album was eventually released as "The Ape Of Naples", the material is so augmented that there are very few recognizable samples.The proposed release on Nothing Records was continuously put off. "The Ape Of Naples" is considered to be the reincarnation of this demo [http://www.echoingthesound.org/phpbbx/viewtopic.php?p=545433&sid=e701d7653798db3cccc111c9a8009c64#545433] as it features completely reworked versions of "Heaven's Blade," "A.Y.O.R.," and other songs that are believed to have been originally created around the time of "Backwards". "Simenon" and "Bee Has Photos" are built largely on the foundation of the song "Protection," which was released on the single "
Born Again Pagans "."Bee Has Photos" and "Eqyptian Basses" are not considered to be officially part of this bootleg as they were released as part of the "
Songs of the Week " download series and not on the supposed original demo [http://www.angelfire.com/electronic2/saamoa/pages/backwards.html] . However the version from "Songs of the Week" is an alternate version, much shorter in length.On the live Coil album, "
Live Three ", a song called "Backwards" is performed. This song is an incarnation of the songs "Simenon" and "Bee Has Photos."This bootleg comprises the material for an album with several proposed titles, such as "International Dark Skies"cite web
