Bandcamp Friday , the 6th Day of Spring, still looking for a light in the sky..
Two special releases on the menu today.

Randall and Elisa spent the last weeks preparing a beautiful CD-R release of ‘Don’t get Lost‘ by Orbit Service. This 5 year old work has been enhanced, expanded and dressed in a beautiful block printed cover.

You’ll find it here (LPD Bandcamp) and here (OS Bandcamp)

The second release of the day is my solo album, ‘A Monument to Wasted Tears‘ on double vinyl. A bonus 4th side has been added and it has been given a beautiful gatefold cover. It’s at the pressing plant now and will inevitably need time but it is inevitably very limited. I’m under no illusions that it will never break even, but I cannot deny the sheer excitement here in the kaspeslian household. Bonus cuts are added to the download too, so anyone who bought the digital or cd editions can simply re-download the album with no need to pay anything extra for the new material.

You’ll find this Monument here (LPD Bandcamp)… and here (EK Bandcamp)

Here is a recent chat between Dereck Higgins and Edward Ka-Spel.

New this coming Sunday:

cEvin Key of Skinny Puppy chats with electronic musician Randall Frazier of Orbit Service and the Legendary Pink Dots!live from Italy !. We’ll catch up on all things pink and look into the future plans.
As well Randall has recently launched his own tech Patreon page https://www.patreon.com/cw/randallfrazier and we’ll talk about the details. @frazier_randall Exclusive to patreons www.patreon.com/cEvinKey 

February 15
Final preparations now well underway for the double vinyl edition of “ A Monument to Wasted Tears“. There will be a bonus 4th side of material for this one. In the meantime, the cd edition is down to a handful of copies (a similar story with “Tease Seize Apply“). The aforementioned bonus tracks will simply be added to the existing download edition – watch this space! Also posted today are a couple of unearthed copies of the 90s reissue of “The Scriptures of Illumina” on Soleilmmoon.

In these darker days, it’s easier to believe that the World out there is far more focused on disintegration than creation.
Never does this feel truer than on a grey day at the edge of London, with the Sun feeling considerably further away than a mere 93 million miles.
However it’s a special Friday for lots of us.

In fact , the first Bandcamp Friday of 2026, when that excellent American company waive their commission for all artists using their platform.
Three releases dominate the Dots’ Bandcamp page today.

As promised, a very small run of ‘Chemical Playschool 25’ is being issued on double vinyl which can be found here:

Meanwhile, Randall’s Orbit Service project have prepared a glorious CD-R release with a block printed cover. Find ‘What do you fear the most?’ right here:

Lastly, recent Hallowe’en and Xmas releases are gathered for ‘Festive 5’ – a homemade CD-R release here:

Januray 18
Preparations are now underway for vinyl editions of ‘Chemical Playschool 25’ and ‘A Monument for Wasted Tears’ . The latter will have a bonus 4th side..

January 23
New official Legendary Pink Dots and Edward Ka-Spel merch is up in the shop. Elisa is working hard to bring more! Worldwide shipping.

Sound Production is a restless science that can result in high art. Randall is a genuine wizard with the waveforms, and he taught me a lot. Today he launched his
Patreon page and I cannot recommend it enough! There’s serious magic in there!

Edward Ka-Spel Arlo/A Number – Preorder

This 7 inch lathe-cut record was originally released as a limited edition to coincide with the Edward Ka-Spel solo show in Denver, Colorado on November 1, 2025. Only 10 copies were made for the show.

This is a second edition, available for pre-order between January 29 and February 28. However many copies are ordered is how many will be made.

Lathe-cut records are a bit different from regular vinyl, as each one is cut in real time. They will play on any standard turntable, but you may need to add a bit of extra weight to your tonearm. If you’re using a Crosley or other suitcase-style player, placing a penny on top of the cartridge can help.

The covers are printed, cut, and folded by hand, so they may have a slightly handmade feel. That said, they look great, and I’m really happy with how they turned out.

Because each lathe-cut record is made one at a time, the cost to produce them is much higher than a standard pressed 7”. These will also take time to make, so please expect them to ship around May or June. If I’m able to get them out sooner, I will.
Limit one per person

With a plethora of Pink Dots’ shirts on the internet but none left on our Bandcamp site, this action seems to be the perfect solution. Elisa has made a line of designs that can be found here: https://www.brokensceneshop.com/collections/the-legendary-pink-dots
They’re official!!!
