PTV was a later project that was more acid house oriented, though not exclusively. coil is peter christopherson (also of throbbing gristle fame) and john balance. those guys are nuts, their records were very influential to me when i was like 15. without all that kind of stuff, id have never been able to get into techno house and jungle. theres so much more to say about these cats but i have to run to work. tom ________________________________________________________________ andythepooh.com
