Notes

Before “Any Day Now” was recorded back in 1987, the Dots enjoyed a memorable afternoon of fine food, fine wine and a fine sound system revealing a plethora of ideas, sketches and jams captured on a pile of cassettes.  As evening crept in votes were cast for what would be developed into a fully fledged album. ADN Secrets is one of those cassettes, cleaned-up a little, and surely for completists- but a priceless peek into LPDs working methods at that time. -E. K-S.

CDR in card cover with home-made artwork.  LPD’s first self-made bootleg

First release on Pink Dots’ own “Trademark of Quantity” label .In fact a self-made bootleg.  Quality is variable but the atmosphere can catch the listener.

Possibly, something for the completist. The concert is from 1992.  -E. K-S.

Despite the ominous warnings on the radio, a lonely boat sails away from a lonelier island with the good captain Silverman at the helm.  Aliens here to study mankind had taken control of the airwaves; spread confusion with fake weather reports; induced brainwashing with warped forms of Celtic music; inserted subliminal mantras like “Better Warped Than Corrupted” into all political and financial broadcasting;as well as openly plotting revolution – or was that resolution? or evolution? or perhaps pollution? But this was of no concern for Silverman as he changed course by the north star, heading out towards Andromeda.

Notes 

Recorded in 5 intense days as November turned into December and as fresh as a brisk desert wind that fries all who stand in it’s path. Close to an hour of songs, scapes  and colours so loud your neighbours will need guide dogs.  Spontaneity can be a wonderful thing in these oh so cautious times.  EK-S

LP version–
Freshly edited and mastered for vinyl, “Taos Hum” is being released by the Brudenia label from Kaliningrad, Russia in late Spring. The new Taos Hum cover is another splendid work by fractal artist Anita Hammer,who also created the C.P 16 & 18 cover, and more recently the slipcase images for the Maria Box. The LP is being released by our dear friends at Brudenia. Premonition 40 and The Piper have been re-worked to fit the LP format. Limited edition of 350 copies pressed on 180 gram vinyl, with printed insert.

Notes 

Material from 1992

A glimpse into how the Shadow Weaver and Malachai albums came into existence with this collection of raw, searching sessions where Patrick Q. was a guest on violin together with a mystery percussionist who took everyone’s breath away.

Sound enhancement is there but very subtle in order to give the listener the feeling that he or she is right in the room with the musicians.

Quiet pleasures are here, my friends.
Enjoy!  -E. K-S.
