Horse Rotorvator

Horse Rotorvator is the second studio album by English experimental music group Coil, released in 1986. The album was ranked No. 73 in the Pitchfork list "Top 100 Albums of the 1980s" The album title was inspired by a dream of Balance's in which the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse slit the throats of their horses and assembled their jawbones into a device large enough to "plough up the waiting world." The cover photograph was shot by the band and shows the bandstand in Regent's Park, London, which was subject to the Hyde Park and Regent's Park bombings four years before the album's release. A cover of Leonard Cohen's "Who by Fire" is featured on the album. "Ostia" meditates on the murder of radical Italian filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini. Guests include Marc Almond and his collaborator Billy McGee.
