At Mutek, it was Peter Christopherson on Ableton Live and Thighpaulsandra playing a keyboard live. The setup had their gear on a long table with one end facing the audience, so that Christopherson was on the right and Thighpaulsandra was on the left. Both came out in head to toe (including headcoverings) white furry suits. Christopherson kept his headcovering on the whole time, whereas Thighpaulsandra pulled his headcovering off after the second song or so. Set started with Thighpaulsandra saying "hello, we are Coil" and saying some nice things about Mutek and finishing with "We were Coil" and more nice things. Thighpaulsandra slowed walked around the stage on two different occasions. The music was great, but unfortunately the sound quality was such that the bass was farty at times. I was told that night that it was because I had been listening from in the balcony at the Metropolis, but when Hawtin and the rest played the same venue later in the week, the bass was clear in every part of the venue, even in the bathroom. Christopherson kept building up the rhythms, but kept things controlled such that things never peaked. Thighpaulsandra played a lot at times, while other times just added fills. Have never seen Coil live before, so can't compare, but am a big fan from way back and was great to finally see them. Hope this helps.
