Bandcamp Friday- March 2024

The first day of March, the first day of Spring (perhaps) and Bandcamp Friday all rolled into one. For the Pink Dots it’s a quieter occasion than usual but I have cleaned up a pair of past live shows, wildly different in atmosphere and quality from 1994 and 2009 respectively. Both are audience recordings from Frankfurt at the notorious Negativ club, truly a place that lived down to its name, and the impressive Ikra venue in Moscow. Even so, there is also a special new release featuring fellow Pink Dots Randall and Erik, namely “I’m not supposed to be here” by Orbit Service.

Ikra ’09

…And in the ongoing mission to gather all solo releases in one place with enhanced quality, today’s additions are the uncanny ‘Spectrescapes’ Volumes 2 & 3. Number 3 boasts a new cover too!

Bandcamp Friday- February 2024

Bandcamp Friday makes a welcome return today and two fresh releases are on the menu from Chez Dots. From the shadowy past, “Traumstadt 2” has been given a new master and cover for it’s release as a double CD by the excellent Klanggalerie label – it can be found here:

Meanwhile a title that was missing from the platform by accident (not so much a senior moment, more a senior decade..) has been newly covered up and greatly expanded. You’ll find “One Last Pose Before the Ruinhere (LPD) and here (EK).

One Last Pose Before the Ruin (Deluxe)
Disc 1 is the original cd, Disc 2 is a new (complimentary) work entitled “The Ruin” on CD-R. New artwork by EK and assembled by Ray Steeg in the Netherlands. A thing of beauty!  Limited edition of 86. Find it here.

The Ruin
For all who already own the original CD, this is the standalone version of “The Ruin” on CDR. Artwork by EK, lovingly handmade. Edition of 60. Find it here.

And finally, a track by Edward Ka-Spel that is included in the compilation 2023 – 2003 = 20 Years of 4mg Records limited edition cassette release.
