THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS DECEMBER 2009 NEWSLETTER
The first part of our 30th Anniversary was always going to be tough.So many shows were confirmed at the last moment that sometimes the band felt like it was crossing into an unknown dimension rather than simply travelling to another city.We slept on floors, in dormitories and sometimes in the middle of a 10 hour drive (though thankfully not the long suffering driver).
Despite all of that people turned out in force to watch the Dots ; performances frequently had that edge of intensity that perhaps only extreme adversity can produce.Now that brief month (which felt like a year) is over and planning is underway for part 2. More old and new songs will be in the set next Spring.The year 2010 is not simply LPDs 30th Anniversary , it will mark the beginning of a big ,brave adventure.No other way- we hope you'll join us....

OUT NOW
THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS/ The Maria Sessions (CDR)
Back in 1991 , every note played by the Dots was captured on a tape recorder which was literally never switched off.Some of the more inspired
improvisations were worked on and turned into songs which found their way
on the Maria dimension album.
This CDR captures the very best of those sessions and features some of the most wonderful guitar work from Bob Pistoor that you'll ever hear.A perfect
companion release to Maria Dimension itself, this literally brought tears to our eyes when we played the finished version recently.Highly highly recommended- everything unreleased and unheard outside the Dots.
A TOQ CDR ...it costs 13.50 euros plus postage. OUT NOW!
THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS/Human Radio (CDR)
A radio broadcast in 2002 before a tiny audience in an Amsterdam cafe.
Crystal clear recordings interspersed with snippets of interview plus the material the Dots played in the cafe AFTER the radio show was finished.
Songs included are "Isis Veiled", "Our Dominion", "12th" ,"The More it stays the same" and a few others.A quiet beauty....This TOQ CDR costs 13.50 euros plus postage.OUT NOW
EDWARD KA-SPEL/THE SILVERMAN/ The Whispering Wail (CDR)
Fine recordings from 2004 featuring Edward and Phil improvising with " The Whispering Wall" album in mind. It's wild and loud and at times utterly uplifting.Again, this one comes recommended .All pieces unreleased and unheard outside Chez Dots.
A TOQ CDR..it costs 13.50 euros plus postage.OUT NOW

BEAUTIFUL THINGS THAT CAME OUR WAY
FREDERIK GROENER & TIMO VAN LUIJK-Voile au Vent (vinyl LP)
Just released- this is a record of astonishing beauty.The first side made me feel like I was tiptoeing through a magical garden at twilight, the second cast me out into a forgotten sea.Timo is an improviser of the first order- everything he creates is worthy of your attention, but if you start anywhere, then start HERE. It's limited as well, so be fast!
It can be ordered directly from Timo at this address: tivalu at telenet.be
MAG
Watch this space for details concerning this incendiary solo girl performer from Sweden.She opened for us in Malmo and Im still scraping my jaw from
the floor after dragging it all the way back to The Netherlands. Marvellous, hugely inventive....words aren't enough..
ES/ Sateenkaarisuudelma
Available as a beautiful double album release and as a double CD.
Quite honestly if the amount of love and devotion poured into this album was contagious (I hope it is) then we could seriously talk about the dawn of a New Age of earth. Nothing sweet here, this is music that lifts the listener to a place he or she probably hoped would exist but somehow doubted it. I had to think of the best work of Terry Riley at odd (golden) moments, but that would be a lazy comparison ultimately.
Much has been written about the "Finnish free folk" movement ,and there are an awful lot of releases out there which carry this categorization.My recommendation is to dive into the ocean with confidence...but this is a good place to start from.
SVARTBAG
I was given this CD by a kind record store owner in Copenhagen, and what a beauty it is!!! Perhaps there are echoes of the sadly missed Godspeed You Black Emperor, but that comparison does this Danish band a disservice.Very much an individual sound to this CD on the Rump Recordings label.Charged, ecstatic .Utterly uplifting in these sepia times.
THE JOHN MORAN CORPORATION
Sometimes a CD comes along that makes you want to fling open the windows and scream about to the rest of the World (only that would of course interfere with the beautiful music).
In the case of John moran, it wasn't one but 2 albums that turned up in the mail box..Psychedelic in the braodest sense, tuneful, intelligent,happy, sad---dont know where to stop.John is fromAustralia and his CDs are on the Puzzle Factory label.Seek him out, and buy his music--you will not regret this.
UN FESTIN SAGITAL
Title: Epitafio a la Permanencia
Imagine Christian Vander and Pierre Henry collaborating on a lost masterpiece when they were both at the peaks of their powers.....Imagine the master tape turning up in Chile..Imagine it's reputation preceded it and turned out to be EVEN BETTER......Un Festin Sagital is a group I'd never heard of before, but I reckon I'll spend the next few years hearing them again and again such is the depth of this debut.Purchase from < www.blrrecords.com> now before it vanishes.
ARIEL KALMA
Beta-Lactam Ring has given Ariels' first insanely rare album a long overdue re-release and it's a glory.Lots of beautiful bonus material as well. We loved this record for years at Chez Dots...Hearing it with this kind of clarity was akin to waking up after a long Winter's sleep.
MORE TO COME SOON!!

l_khata at yahoo.com
2. . Under normal circumstances, we process orders within five working days, though CD-R orders may take longer.

If you are in a real hurry, your package can be sent by a service of your choosing such as UPS, FedEx, Overnight or Priority Mail. It is very important that you discuss delivery options and preferences with us at the time you place your order so that we can add the appropriate shipping fees to your total.
