Notes

A show in small record store in the picturesque town of Lueneburg. Alas, the sound equipment was a little primitive and the microphone had seen far better days. However with the aid of fellow Pink Dots, The Silverman and Niels Van Hoorn, the memories of this night are sweet ! Indeed, there is even a burst of improvisation at the end. Thanks to Rob who captured this performance and Danny who was instrumental in making it happen…

“When the entire population is given a warning that it’s dangerous to go outside then it’s important to adapt to the new reality as soon as possible. I had no idea when a veneer of normality would be there again back in 2020 when COVID claimed so many. The only way to deal with it was to create as if every day would potentially be the last. “Permission To Leave the Temple “ and “ The Deep” were among the first recordings made during that initial lockdown and it now feels like a good moment to open them up to a wider public, at least temporarily.” -EK

Astres d’or LP release: limited edition of 40
Digitally designed Text-Collages by Edward Ka-spel

A Spoken Word Piece by Edward Ka-spel.

ON THE REBOUND

I looked in the mirror and saw healthy colour in my cheeks. Even the wrinkles seemed to be disappearing although those laugh lines stuck around for a while.
“It gets better,” they all said. And it did until the first problem appeared in the form of a letter from someone called Rosemary.
This Rosemary accused me of cheating her out of her precious possessions and threatened me with a lawyer.
I would have written her off as a lunatic if the handwriting hadn’t seemed so worryingly familiar. Rosemary….Rosemary….the name nagged me as the letters increased in number and ferocity. Then, one day, Rosemary turned up on the doorstep with suitcases, and scowled at me as she stormed upstairs before emptying her things all over my bed.
I just accepted it too. Wordlessly, like a puppy I moved downstairs and did my best to avoid her, though this became harder and harder as time passed.
Sometimes Jake and a rather beautiful young lady named Amber, who was apparently my daughter, would come to visit.
Jake would talk to me about compromise and communication while Amber tended to ignore me at first, preferring to talk to Rosemary upstairs.
The odd thing is that I began to connect to Rosemary after a while. Her anger seemed to subside, and I began to wish for a surprise meeting in the kitchen.

Bandcamp digital release:

An orchestrated short story from the Summer of 2019, released as a hyper-limited vinyl edition on the Des Astres D’or label where each lp was individually pressed. Alas, that edition disappeared in the blink of an eye, but here is the downloadable version.
The images are taken from the covers of the 40 records which were made (every copy is unique).

***

CD-R release:

In keeping with the vinyl edition of this album which was released in 2020, this CD-R edition of 69 boasts 69 lovingly handmade, unique, personalised covers. A selection of these can be viewed in the accompanying picture.
