Colour Sound Oblivion is a forcoming DVD box set by Coil. The box set is believed to include approximately 10 DVDs, which were edited by Peter Christopherson in conjunction with the "potential" Throbbing Gristle box set TVG.

Colour Sound Oblivion was a term coined by Coil, used since the time of Worship The Glitch. The phrase also compromises part of the lyrics of the song I Am The Green Child from the album Constant Shallowness Leads To Evil.

"Work has started on compiling and mastering the video footage and projections from various live Coil performances for DVD release. There have been some unexpected delays due to the complexity of some of the material, but Coil hopes to have the material completed and ready for release as two double DVD sets this autumn. One of the sets will be comprised of the recent MUTEK performance and the Vienna/Prague shows that were featured on the Live Four CD. On this latter set, Peter comments: "I actually found this extremely difficult to edit in places, despite having done it professionally for years. Having to watch Jhon in full creative flow but also in such obvious pain...You can begin to understand why his unique brand of 'speaking in tongues' is so demanding, and therefore why he is now taking a much-needed sabbatical"."[1]

"The Live DVD Box

We have made a lot of progress with this project, despite being diverted by these re-pressings, and by a potential TG Video box, and hope to get COIL BOX - Provisionally to be called COLOUR SOUND OBLIVION out by Christmas.

Love and best wishes to all.

"I expect Ian will be involved with the artwork for any further Coil releases including the DVD/video boxed set and any other audio releases (as yet undecided) but probably not with THBC. It's possible we will still collaborate on other projects. I don't know yet."
