In the continuing mission to gather all solo titles in one place, a few more are added today. All are remastered (some drastically) while “Textures of Illumina” is also being made available as a limited CDR set as this particular title underwent a massive sonic rebirth. The same applies to ‘The Scriptures of Illumina” as the new master seemed worthy of a physical release . “The Perfect Patch” is being made available on CD-R for the first time. Find them all here.

The first fruit of Autumn at Chez Dots drops from the tree this morning. The latest volumes of the enduring “Chemical Playschool “ series- now up to Volumes 23 & 24-can be found right here:
If all goes well, it becomes physical in January in the form of double cd and vinyl sets. What a long strange trip it continues to be…..
An intense Summer of recording at Chez Dots deceived us into believing that there would be no new release for the September Bandcamp Friday. However we were pleasantly surprised to see a new vinyl release of one of our earliest shows brought forward to the end of December. “Live in Kontich” is now on double vinyl via Fractal Records (France) – and we’ll be dispatching them later this month.
Also on today’s menu is a small re-run of the “40 Angels’ 4 x CDR package, and “Chemical Playschool 3-4” 4 x CDR package. This is following many requests. Do allow some time for these to be prepared- they are elaborate! Finally a small cache of the “Only Dreaming” CDR was unearthed (they had been held back for a mini-tour that didn’t materialise).
A quiet Bandcamp Friday here as so much focus has been on recording the new Pink Dots’ material over the Summer. Even so, the last copies of the ‘Tales from the Trenches’ vinyl have been added here , while a number of ‘Live at Cafe OTO’ and ‘A Carrington Event’ CDRs are still available.love’n’peace EK

Dynasti will play a concert at Extrapool. Dynasti is Edward Ka-Spel of The Legendary Pink Dots), Peter Johan Nÿland (of Norn, Trepanerungsritualen, O Saala Sakraal and much more), and Frans de Waard (Modelbau, Kapotte Muziek, and much more). Dynasti recorded a CD, Quantum Primitiv, on the Klang Galerie to wide acclaim. Marc from EXTRAPOOL inquired if we would be interested in playing a concert and, sure, why not? We’ll spend a few days before hand to come up with all new material. Maybe a one-off? We don’t know.
Tickets are for sale, and mind you, tickets are limited! (The other concerts in this series are also highly recommended!)
