It’s December and the last Bandcamp Friday of 2021.If the pandemic retreats (please!), it may well be the last Bandcamp Friday of all, although this regular ceremony has become a bit of a musical celebration in this deeply troubled time. We couldn’t let it pass. This month’s solo offering is “Dark Window Wave” which you’ll find right here.

Dark Window Wave

Meanwhile all the seasonal releases of The Dots from 2017-2020 have been gathered together for a long overdue physical release as a double CD-R. You’ll find “Festive II” here

Fireworks night in the U.K. and November’s Bandcamp Friday have converged and it will be an incendiary affair on the Dots’ Bandcamp site and over at edwardka-spel.bandcamp.com. Seek and he shall find….

THE SCARLET TRAIL OF STINGING TEARS
by Patrick Q.Wright & Edward Ka-Spel

Fainting By Numbers
by Edward Ka-Spel

“A ripple on the Richter scale part 1 & 2” (2CD)
Richter Scale is a project with actual and ex-members of Legendary Pink Dots and Un Festín Sagital.

‘A Ripple On The Richter Scale’ was a project born in a famous bar in Santiago, Chile back in 2008.  Michel of ‘Un Festin Sagital ‘ and ‘Thanatoloop’ had invited Edward Ka-Spel and The Silverman of The Legendary Pink Dots for their first ever shows south of the equator and the logical next step was to engage in some recording sessions.

Michel took to his piano, The two Pink Dots explored their devices and after a long period of examining the material and a variety of mixes, Michel produced a master which emerged on cassette. The 3 members were so pleased with the result that ‘Ripple’ became an enduring project thanks to possibilities of cyberspace, so a new recording was made, this time with only Edward and Michel.

As for the name, it’s best to go back to that bar which was a refuge for those persecuted during the brutal Pinochet years (entry was permitted with a secret knock!). Together with Chilean friends the two Pink Dots and Michel slowly sank in their chairs after a few devilish glasses of young white wine mixed with pineapple ice-cream. The name of the lethal cocktail….. ‘Little Earthquakes’ (of course).”
