OUT NOW- The Maria Dimension Complete Recordings
5 LP Box set
25 years after the Dots’ classic psychedelic masterwork was recorded, this set marks the first time the entire ‘Maria Dimension’ album has been released on vinyl. In addition to the original album, remastered and presented here as a double LP in a deluxe gatefold sleeve, the box includes another gatefold double LP and an additional single LP from the same Maria sessions. Limited to 300 copies, this slipcase box edition comes with notes, rare photos, a poster and previously unreleased recordings.
Available in the US through Soleilmoon and Beta-Lactam Ring Records
and in Europe direct from the Dots through Bandcamp
Winter 2015 Newsletter
THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS NEWSLETTER
FEBRUARY 2015
The Legendary Pink Dots turn 35 this year…….That makes the band a whole decade older than Reunified Germany although the latter can boast of straighter, tougher roads to the very top of the mountain while the Dots still can’t quite drag their wheelbarrows out of the swamp (though we are gazing at the stars). Nevertheless, while we will not allow ourselves to become bogged down with sentimentality over this anniversary, there are some serious plans afoot.
It seems like the perfect year to honour that long history, not just in spectacular fashion like the deluxe “Maria dimension Complete Recordings ” 5 x lp box set (which duly landed here a few days ago) but by maintaining the steady overhaul of our earliest recordings with the remastering and dressing up of the cassette albums on humble cdr. “Premonition” , “Apparition” and “Prayer For Aradia” are already there – “Basilisk” and “Chemical Playschool 3/4” will follow shortly. Then there’s “Come Out From The Shadows ” on cd which should arrive here in the next few days.
Add to that the jaw-dropping “Synesthesia” vinyl box set, “Taos Hum lp” and the delightful 7″ which appeared last week, and it would seem that not SO much changed since 1980.
There’s just a big difference in that we dreamed of seeing The Pink Dots on vinyl back then…now we’re drowning in wax.
Of course there are fresh recordings going on as well, and we do have a brace of festival appearances planned for this year, but more about that later….
A Ripple on the Richter Scale
This recently released recording, found on Un Festin Sagital’s Bandcamp page, is based on an improvised session from November 2008, recorded in Chile. Richter Scale participants include Edward Ka-Spel, Phil Knight and Barry Gray of The Legendary Pink Dots and Un Festin Sagital.

OUT NOW- 10 to the Power of 9, Volume 2
This is the Second Volume of a complex story about conspiracy, magic, and spirituality. Minimal synths, guitars, syncopated rhythms that are making weird, psychedelic and transcendental noises which are of course accompanied by the distinctive voice of Ka-Spel. Lying on your sofa, pumping up the volume and just dream away on their ethereal sounds. 10 to the Power of 9 is a dark and exceptional trip into their warped and bizarre musical psyche.
