There was only a very limited amount of material released during the early period of 77 to 79 theses where private cassette editions produced by DVA and only very few people heard that material, One very Notable and supportive individual was Jhonn Balance of Coil another very creative and talented individual sadly not with us any longer ,a true Friend who will always be greatly missed and fondly remembered, in fact the name Coil was the name of an early DVA track, one day Jhonn wrote to me asking if |had any objection for him to use the name of the track for his new group project off course | was happy for him to use it and the restis history, Coil was born | still have all the extensive and hand written communications Johnn wrote tome over the many years .
