Merry Solstice everybody! (ok it’s tomorrow, but I guess that’s close enough..).5 days to Christmas Day so it feels like the appropriate moment to launch the Legendary Pink Dots’ seasonal special for 2024. Happy Solstice everyone!
After nearly 45 years of The Legendary Pink Dots, you’d think we’d be used to the launch of our new album by now. In fact, it’s not the case at all, there’s an almost unbearable childlike excitement at Chez Dots right now as we launch ‘So Lonely in Heaven’. We’ve lived with the finished album for over two months and I can’t deny the temptation to press the ‘Share’ button has been ever present. Still, no need for any more holding back as of today. Here is our link to what feels to us like the first wild daffodil of a Spring Day to come.
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.
love’n’peace EK
It’s Hallowe’en every day in these dark times (sigh)….but hopefully this makes an agreeable soundtrack..

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…..
