Love's Secret Domain is the third album by Coil and was released in 1991. The album marked a departure from the brooding synthesizers and melodies of their first two albums, focusing more on acid house sampling. The singles released from the album were "Windowpane" and "The Snow". Guest vocalists include Marc Almond on "Titan Arch" and Annie Anxiety on "Things Happen".
A working title for the album was The Side Effects of Life.
Love's Secret Domain was later remastered by Thighpaulsandra with slightly different track lengths. The album is currently available for purchasing in AAC, MP3, and FLAC formats at Coil's official website.
The song "Disco Hospital" was covered by Matmos on their EP California Rhinoplasty.
Lyrics of the song "Love's Secret Domain" borrow from the song "In Dreams": "In dreams I walk with you / In dreams I talk to you / In dreams you're mine / All the time." Lyrics are also culled from The Sick Rose by William Blake, specifically, "O rose, thou art sick".
The cover features a painting by Steven Stapleton originally created on an outhouse door.
