The first of two anthology CDs created to mark Coil's live performance in Moscow on September 15, 2001. This volume features a selection of melancholy and melodic pieces from throughout Coil's career, along with the new track "A Cold Cell". The other volume is A Guide for Finishers: A Golden Hair, which features more aggressive and noisy tracks. The English title given above is a loose translation of the Russian title devised by Ivan Pavlov of COH.
