Initially released in December 2005 on Threshold House. It is the last studio album by the duo John Balance and Peter Christopherson. John Balance having passed away in November 2004, The Ape of Naples is consequently particularly moving. Its sound and composition make it one of the most accessible albums in Coil's discography, and in some aspects, it can recall their mid-80s classic: Horse Rotorvator. Includes 9 rare or unreleased tracks.
