Nasa Arab was the only release ever to be credited to "Coil Vs. The Eskaton". "The Eskaton", however, is Coil, so the release is basically, though not officially, just by Coil. The 12" release was limited to 2500 copies.
The song "Nasa Arab" originally appeared in a shorter form on the album Stolen & Contaminated Songs. "First Dark Ride" would later appear on Unnatural History III.
The title of the song is from an episode of I Dream of Jeannie season 3 episode 1 in which Jeannie turns into a water boy and says "inshallah" to Dr. Bellows, who then asks Tony "Who is this?" Tony replies "Oh the water boy sir, probably one of Nasa's Arab." Balance, who had no title for the piece came upon this episode of the show that he was watching distractly and that line stuck with him, he mentioned it to Christopherson and they used it.
The following people are credited for participating on this release: John Balance, Peter Christopherson, Danny Hyde and Drew McDowall.
The catalogue number for this release is Eskaton 001. It was released only in the United Kingdom.
The vinyl is etched as follows:

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is the agency of the United States Federal Government responsible for the civilian space program as well as aeronautics and aerospace research.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower established the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 1958 with a distinctly civilian (rather than military) orientation encouraging peaceful applications in space science. The National Aeronautics and Space Act was passed on July 29, 1958, disestablishing NASA's predecessor, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). The new agency became operational on October 1, 1958.
Since that time, most US space exploration efforts have been led by NASA, including the Apollo moon-landing missions, the Skylab space station, and later the Space Shuttle. Currently, NASA is supporting the International Space Station and is overseeing the development of the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle, the Space Launch System and Commercial Crew vehicles. The agency is also responsible for the Launch Services Program (LSP) which provides oversight of launch operations and countdown management for unmanned NASA launches.
NASA is a Swedish synthpop band fronted by Patrik Henzel and Martin Thors. They debuted in 1983 with a song for a Swedish film. In 1985 they had a Swedish top ten hit "Paula". In the 1980s, the band had little success outside of Sweden. A planned US album was recorded, but then shelved by Columbia Records. They continued to have numerous hit singles in their home country of Sweden. They were basically defunct for most of the 1990s, but had a resurgence with the album "Remembering the Future" in 1999.
