Schiphol
Airport. Dog-tired but feeling satisfied after putting a new set of
songs to the test in our Amsterdam show last night. It had been a while
since we last played live and nerves were on display like neon red flags
above our heads, but it held together and felt good. Now
we're preparing to refine it and expand it for our first ever show in
Odessa, Ukraine in a few days time and then a special occasion with
ex-LPD violin player Patrick Q. Paganini joining in Tel Aviv. And then? Well, America here we come if the Gods favour it….
2013 is beginning to be quite an intense year.

your personal delusion after all but don't be discouraged. There's always another channel, always one more dimension.

STILL FRESH!NEW RELEASESLEGENDARY PINK DOTS - Taos Hum (CDR)
Recorded
in 5 intense days as November turned into December and as fresh as
a brisk desert wind that fries all who stand in it's path. Close to an
hour of songs, scapes and colours so loud your neighbours will need
guide dogs. Spontaneity can be a wonderful thing in these oh so
cautious times… Out on March 8 (it will not be late). EUR 13,50 plus postage - also available as a download from LPDs' Bandcamp site: legendarypinkdots1.bandcamp.com
EDWARD KA-SPEL - Fire Island (CDR)
In
January EK went on a rare holiday in an attempt to escape the notorious
British winter. Typically he took all manner of recording equipment
with him. It was a wonderful holiday on Fire Island and the songs on
this album drip with the atmosphere of that special place. Out on March
8 (it will not be late). EUR 13,50 plus postage - also available as a download from LPDs' Bandcamp site: legendarypinkdots1.bandcamp.com
THE SILVERMAN - Finisterre (CDR)
Despite
the ominous warnings on the radio, a lonely boat sails away from a
lonelier island with the good captain Silverman at the helm. Aliens
here to study mankind had taken control of the airwaves; spread
confusion with fake weather reports; induced brainwashing with warped
forms of Celtic music; inserted subliminal mantras like "Better Warped
Than Corrupted" into all political and financial broadcasting; as well
as openly plotting revolution - or was that resolution? or evolution? or
perhaps pollution? But this was of no concern for Silverman as he
changed course by the north star, heading out towards Andromeda. Out on
March 8 (it will not be late).
EUR 13,50 plus postage- also available as a download from LPDs' Bandcamp site: legendarypinkdots1.bandcamp.com
EDWARD KA-SPEL- One Last Pose Before the Ruin (CD,LP,Cassette,T-Shirt)
EK's
latest aural adventure for the estimable Beta-Lactam Ring label and a
natural successor to "Pleasure Cruise". Reflective and a little
melancholy, parts of it could have been made back in '73, but in another
more innocent dimension. Mostly instrumental, apart from that odd
interlude concerning a turkey.
CD and hyper - limited cassette due any day - 20 euros plus postage.

BEAUTIFUL THINGS WHICH DRIFTED OUR WAYRobodop Snei A beautifully packaged and lovingly crafted CD from old Pink Dots' friend Danny Eschbach's
project in Australia. Danny has his own way with the synthesizer that
frequently thrills you and certianly takes you out there. The title is
"Strange Ongoings" released by Tempest Records. www.tempestrecordings.com/robodopsnei.htm
On many occasions a delightful band named Surreal Funfair has opened
for LPDs in Cologne and berlin. Sascha Beyer is the mastermind behind
this delightfully eccentric outfit and he has informed me of a debut
album. Go ,seek it out!!
http://www.no-emb-blanc.com/007/index.php
Old Pink Dots' friends Thorsten Wald and Lars Tangmark urged me to direct you all to their own project here: http://www.hotel-encore.de/teka.html - It comes strongly recommended.
Close friends of the Dots' Frans and Freek from Beequeen just informed me that they now have a Bandcamp Page as well. Some exquisite delights to be found there!
The download fun starts at http://brunnen.bandcamp.com/ and http://beequeen.bandcamp.com/

THE BERN PROJECT by Rhys Chatham
Shame on me for not being familiar with the music of Rhys Chatham much sooner.
Old
Pink Dots' friend Roger Ziegler changed this situation when he gave me a
selection of releases from his magnificent Hinterzimmer records label -
the above cd was one of them.Quite simply the music on display here is
ECSTATIC, the energy is like a glorious rush to the head.Write to Roger

LOVE AND LOUD COLOURS - The lyrics of Edward Ka-Spel
We'd like to bring your attention to www.loveandloudcolours.com...
this is a website dedicated to Edward Ka-Spel's book of lyrics which
was released a few years ago. The site has been updated and visitors
will find a section where Edward reveals the origins for many of his
outpourings. There are not so many books left now. Those interested
should write to Kirsten who lovingly created the book and the website.
TAPAJAWA - Critical Magic
Barry Gray (aka Stret majest Alarme), Legendary Pink Dots' guitar
player from all of the first albums, has just released a fine and
utterly spacey cassette on Beam Ends Records. Now operating under the name of TAPAJAWA, it can be ordered via our old friend Freek of BeeQueen for 15 Euros. Order directly from Freek:
