As promised! “On The Rebound” is a short orchestrated story written and recorded during the Summer of 2019. A vinyl edition of 40 was made boasting unique covers and this is now spoken for. Even so, 2 copies of the vinyl “Rebound” may become available eventually as we’re holding a couple back in case an angry mailman puts an axe to any of the orders already packaged and ready to send. A small gallery is included with the download. Enjoy…

New limited edition- On The Rebound
“On The Rebound” finally landed in Lent. Each slab of vinyl was individually pressed and possess a truly wonderful sound quality. Each cover is individual, designed by me in London and lovingly assembled by Phil in The Netherlands. It’s an edition of just 40 copies and some are, admittedly, already spoken for. It also comes with a bit of a high price tag as they are so expensive to create, but a high quality download edition will be made available shortly as a free/ name your price item via Bandcamp.A big thank you to Raymond at Des Astres D’Or for his outstanding work, and to Phil for being so supportive. Those interested in ordering a copy should send me a personal message….
A new compilation- Dents of Decay
Following a trawl through Pink Dots’ deliveries over the last 10 years, it feels like the perfect moment to serve up an overview of a decade’s worth of solo outpourings.
A brief note…
If ever a Time Machine is invented, there should be a built-in warning system, instructing the pilot to avoid the year 2020. It’s hard to think of a year as tragic as this one, for the sad personal news about Marylou last week and for a World situation that’s as bleak as anything I’ve encountered in all my years.
As far as The Pink Dots are concerned, our 40th Anniversary Tour is inevitably paused, but we’re postponing the shows planned, rather than simply cancelling.
On the brighter side, much recording is happening. The delayed vinyl audiobook from me “On The Rebound” will be available from our end as of next week and we’ll have 18 copies for sale. Friends in America should bear in mind that we STILL cannot send packages there yet as there is a ban in place from Germany (where Phil sends from). Even so, this will surely be lifted soon.
“Letter Post” IS possible to the U.S. happily and it means ,”40 Angels-The Archive” is now being shipped…10 already in the mail, 18 more set to fly next week….Many apologies for this long delay.
Just completed is a collaboration between the Pink Dots and comic creator extraordinaire Matt Howarth, entitled “Portals In The Storm”.
Writing for the new LPDs album in an advanced stage too, so be prepared for the odd teaser.
Finally, as the recent Dots’ Anthology on the Bandcamp site was so warmly welcomed, expect similar releases for other decades plus a solo collection (that one’s due on Friday). Stay well, spread the love cos that’s what The World needs now more than anything (hmm, sounds like there’s a song in there….)
Reissue as a double CD- Kleine Krieg
If only all cds could be presented like this reissue of “Kleine Krieg”…. For many years Austrian label, Klanggalerie, has been making a case for the resurrection of the compact disc and, by now, they are most certainly winning. A double disc with a lavish fold-out artwork. It is jaw-dropping. This cd is also available directly from the label here: www.klanggalerie.com/gg321
Please note that with the ongoing Coronavirus crisis there are inevitable delays with the mail to many destinations.
