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….
