'''''Recoiled''''' is a semi-official remix EP credited to [[Coil]] and [[Nine Inch Nails]]. It is the commercial and physical release of selected tracks from the ''Uncoiled'' download-only remix compilation. It was released on February 24, 2014 on Cold Spring Records and was made available on CD, vinyl, limited edition vinyl , and digital formats. The vinyl was reissued on June 14, 2024 for the tenth anniversary.
The tracks were new mixes re-created by Danny Hyde from his original source material, though they were initially believed to be outtakes from the remix sessions by all members of Coil for ''[[Fixed]]'', ''[[Closer To God (halo)|Closer To God]]'' , and ''[[Further Down The Spiral]]''. ''Recoiled'' omits the tracks from ''Uncoiled'' that could be viewed as redundant and also adds an extra remix that was not included on ''Uncoiled''.

'''''Uncoiled''''' is an unofficial download-only remix compilation made up of new mixes re-created by Danny Hyde from his original source material, though they were initially believed to be outtakes from the remix sessions by all members of Coil for ''Fixed'', ''Closer To God'' , and ''Further Down The Spiral''. A selection of these tracks was later semi-officially released as ''Recoiled''.
Rumors of outtakes had been circulating since 1995 and in 2012, Hyde stated that he had multiple tracks in his possession. Funds were then raised by members of the Echoing The Sound forum to acquire the tracks and the collection was put up for free download in November 2012. It was later revealed by Hyde that the provenance of the remixes was not as initially understood, and that he had personally re-created them in response to being contacted by NIN fans.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77irenJlxs0] After the release of ''Uncoiled'', Robin Rimbaud (aka scanner) unearthed a DAT with Coil remixes of NIN songs matching the names from the PHANTOM NIN SONGS portion of the nothing.nin.net discography (see below). The audio matched what was on ''Further Down the Spiral'' - confirming that the rumors of unreleased Coil remixes were in fact just rumors.
===The Physical Component===
In 2020, [[The NIN Hotline ]] created a limited run of physical CD-R versions of ''Uncoiled'' [https://www.theninhotline.com/uncoiled/]. The package included a professionally printed digipak, CD-R, and hand-numbered postcard. For copyright reasons, the CD-R was sent blank, and it was left up to the recipient to burn the audio. Although 200 copies were made, only 160 were distributed.
===About===
The original story from the torrent file:
<blockquote><p>On February 21, 1995, Stephanie Nahas posted to alt.music.nin about meeting up with [[Danny Lohner]], who mentioned at the time that Coil had remixed Eraser for an upcoming remix album. Sometime in the next few months, someone with reliable contacts with the Coil and NIN camps let on that several remixes were completed by Coil, but not all of them made the remix album. The Nine Inch Nails discography was updated to add the following tracks to “NIN PHANTOM SONGS”
Eraser (a version with worms)<br>
Gave Up(remix by coil, used in movie Young Americans, faster than fixed version and uses the same sound template according to John Balance of Coil. fixed version appears on soundtrack)
Over the years, NIN fans helped dig up tracks on that PHANTOM NIN SONGS list, but these proved elusive. [[Peter Christopherson ]] was asked in 2007 about any unreleased remixes for the launch of [[remix.nin.com]]:“Thanks for writing and listening over the years, but sorry - to the best of my recollection everything we did was already used by [[Trent Reznor|Trent]] in public, except the [[Broken Movie]], which I understand is available from some pirate.com type sites.”
With the passing of John Balance and Peter Christopherson, I took the rumors of those remixes of The Downward Spiral and Eraser to be figments of the creative imagination of someone on alt.music.nin - as to the remix of Gave Up that appeared in Young Americans, that concretely existed. In 2012, longtime Echoing the Sound forum member Wizfan, hailing from Greece, contacted Danny Hyde:
“I had seen a YouTube video of yours a couple of years ago. You showed a box with the [[Nothing Records|Nothing]] logo on it. Do you still have it? Could you tell us about it? We are interested in unreleased songs/remixes by Coil, NIN or other artists.”
The response he got was pretty exciting -
A month and a half after the original ''Uncoiled'' release, a special ''Uncoiled Extended'' version was announced via an email sent to those who had donated to the release of the initial version. It included the following bonus tracks: a mock demo version of "Closer" with commentary by Hyde, and two other Hyde commentaries (one on remixing "Gave Up" and one on the project in general).
Hyde claimed that the original, wide distribution download of ''Uncoiled'' had a mistakenly sped-up version of "Gave Up (Open My Eyes)", which was swapped out for on ''Uncoiled Extended'' and ''Recoiled''.
