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!!!

It’s the first Bandcamp Friday after the North American Tour so I guess it was always destined to be a busy one. After a torrent of requests we are making a second pressing of ‘Brighter Now’ on vinyl, but in Europe this time, while we’ll also be receiving a handful of copies of a tantalising edition of ‘Only Dreaming’ on wax.

Randall requested a posting of the two last Orbit Service albums on the Dots’ page, and they represent two proud and beautiful entries.

Add to that, there are the remains of the handmade cd packages

Chemical Playschool Volumes 23 & 24
Chemical Playschool Volumes 16 & 18
Come out from the Shadows

and ( wait for it…)

The Legendary Pink Dots Xmas Special 2025!

Calling Pink Dots’ friends in Europe… We paid for an extra bag to bring quite a few CDs/ vinyl back from the North American Tour. We do have a few of the new Tear Garden CDs in London and the Netherlands. If anybody wants a copy , please email me at qaspel(at)gmail(dot)com.

Those in North America can order the CD, LP or T-shirts on Brap’s Bandcamp page.

“Produced entirely by The Tear Garden themselves, Astral Elevator is a testament to the enduring creative partnership between Ka-Spel and Key. The album also features contributions from a stellar lineup of guests, including the late Dwayne Goettel, who provides a poignant and powerful presence. The sound is further enriched by the talents of Randall Frazier and Dre Robinson, and the entire experience was brought to its final form by the expert hands of Greg Reely on mixing and mastering.”

It’s Bandcamp Friday and The Legendary Pink Dots are far from home, on a long North American Tour.
Tonight’s destination is Los Angeles ( at Zebulon ) while we continue South to San Diego tomorrow before turning East into the desert.
Even so, it feels like a good moment to launch the album we’ve been scattering small crumbs from in the last months. ‘Chemical Playschool Volume 25‘ is available here:

The cd edition goes into production in November while there will be a double vinyl release early in the New Year.

As per tradition, ‘The Legendary Pink Dots’ Hallowe’en Special 2025‘ is also available as of today – you’ll find it here!

There’s more too… it’s a long day!

Come Out from the Shadows- limited handmade CD edition

A spindle of this out-of-print cd was unearthed in Denver. It has been given a new cover!  Edition of 50.

The Victoria Dimension

A spindle of the original cd showed up in Colorado so it made sense to add the second disc of bonus material. The double disc version will be shipped out late in November when the Pink Dots’ North American Tour is concluded. New cover by EK.

The first show of The Legendary Pink Dots’ US 45th Anniversary tour starts tomorrow in Salt Lake City and Edward has already started his tour diary, which he shares on Facebook!  Please see the TOUR DATES page for schedule, tickets and a link to his diary, which I will try to update daily as he posts his entries.
