THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS SEPTEMBER 2009 NEWSLETTER

September the first.
It's shockingly early.Breakfast News on the TV tells me that the
traditional lightbulb is now illegal in the European Union. Right now
lightbulb police are patrolling the neighbourhood, dim torches are
being poked through letter boxes ,a fleet of bombers are heading
towards Las Vegas.It's dark outside and here I am typing a newsletter
when I should be asleep.

Plenty of news here as we've been hard at it throughout the Summer. Tour plans are still sketchy though as promises of shows hang in the air right now.
Something has to give in this respect soon.
Anyhow,here goes......

IMPORTANT: CHANGE OF ADDRESS ALERT!!!!!

The Pink Dots postbox address is no longer active.Write directly to the band at this address from now on....

IMMINENT NEW RELEASES

THE TEAR GARDEN- Have a Nice Trip (CD)
Now
finished and primed for production in the near future. Songs composed
and recorded in Los Angeles early in 2008. A sumptuous audio
rollercoaster.
Pre-orders from TEKA now being taken..20 euros plus postage.

EDWARD KA-SPEL- Trapped in Amber (LP)
Limited
Vinyl only release from EK on the Dutch Plinkity Plonk label .Colourful
and precious, a natural follow-up to "Painted River of Regrets".
Pre-orders being accepted now - 20 euros plus postage.

EDWARD KA-SPEL-Dream Loops (CD)
Originally planned as a CDR release on TEKA, it was decided to make it a
silver disc on Beta-Lactam Ring Records after a chat between Edward and
Chris at the label.All proceeds go towards a a good cause (go to
www.blrrecords.com for full details).
No pre-orders on this one from TEKA- go to Beta-Lactam Records to reserve.
It will be available from TEKA when officially released on October 1.

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.

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.

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.


EDWARD KA-SPEL/The Painted River of Regrets (vinyl LP)
Just released by Beta-Lactam Ring records in an edition of 300 copies.A
delirious voyage to a melancholy corner of the universe. It costs 20
euros plus 8 for postage /packing inside Europe and 10 further afield.

REISSUED!
EDWARD KA-SPEL- O'er a Shalabaster Tyde Stroll't ay (CD)
Remastered and gloriously repackaged , this album is available once more after
being out-of-print for a long time. 15 euros plus postage.

EDWARD KA-SPEL-Chyekk China Doll (CD)
The remaster of this is quite remarkable, it never sounded this good in the
past.New bonus tracks added and newly covered up - possibly the finest
release so far in the ongoing reissue series. Expect in
October/November.

BACK IN STOCK!!
THE TEAR GARDEN- Eye Spy with my little Eye (CD)
Just a few back here at TEKA. 20 euros plus postage.

BEAUTIFUL THINGS THAT CAME OUR WAY

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 from Australia 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!!

GENERAL ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS:
1.All prices are listed in Euros and USD. The Euro price is for readers
in western Europe while the dollar price is for everyone outside this
continent- note: we ALWAYS prefer Euros as the Dollar becomes weaker
every day.Always check for availability of items before ordering by
emailing:
l_khata@yahoo.com
2.
. Under normal circumstances, we process orders within five working
days, though CD-R orders may take longer. Trans-Atlantic deliveries
usually take an average of three weeks for items that are in stock.
However, since the postal service can take significantly longer than
three weeks in some instances (and considerably shorter than three
weeks in others!), we cannot be held accountable for fluctuations in
your delivery time. 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.
3. When placing
your order, please remember that it is your responsibility to let us
know if you would like your parcel sent via insured or registered mail.
Keep in mind that we live in an imperfect world with an imperfect
postal system. Alas, we *cannot* accept responsibility for
uninsured/unregistered parcels that are lost or delayed. If you would
like us to send your parcel via registered mail, we will be happy to do
so, but please add 5 Euros or 6 USD to your payment.

anything for you for up to three weeks. Please remember that we

individual titles on the transfer note or money order. In other words,
please write: 1. "All The King's Horses" CD, 2. "Requiem Settings" CD,
