NEW RELEASES
Watch this space for the second round of 30th Anniversary CDRs. Prepare to be surprised!
THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS – Live 1991 DVD-R
Filmed with one camera in LPDs home town of Nijmegen. Hugely nostalgic (one of Martijn’s first shows) and very wild and intimidating at a time when “Maria Dimension” was new. Consider this as a companion release to “The Maria Sessions”. 15 Euros plus postage.
THE TEAR GARDEN – Have a Nice Trip (CD)
Now finished and primed for production in the near future. Songs composed and recorded in Los Angeles early in 2008. A sumptuous audio rollercoaster. 20 Euros plus postage.
EDWARD KA-SPEL – Trapped in Amber (LP)
Limited Vinyl only release from EK on the Dutch Plinkity Plonk label. Colourful and precious, a natural follow-up to “Painted River of Regrets”. 20 Euros plus postage.
EDWARD KA-SPEL – Dream Loops (CD) 
Originally planned as a CDR release on TEKA, it was decided to make it a silver disc on Beta-Lactam Ring Records after a chat between Edward and Chris at the label. All proceeds go towards a a good cause (go to www.blrrecords.com for full details). 15 euros plus postage and packing.
THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS – The Maria Sessions (CDR)
Back in 1991 , every note played by the Dots was captured on a tape recorder which was literally never switched off. Some of the more inspired improvisations were worked on and turned into songs which found their way on the Maria Dimension album.
This CDR captures the very best of those sessions and features some of the most wonderful guitar work from Bob Pistoor that you’ll ever hear. A perfect companion release to Maria Dimension itself, this literally brought tears to our eyes when we played the finished version recently. Highly highly recommended – everything unreleased and unheard outside the Dots. A TOQ CDR… it costs 13.50 Euros plus postage.
THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS – Human Radio (CDR)
A radio broadcast in 2002 before a tiny audience in an Amsterdam cafe. Crystal clear recordings interspersed with snippets of interview plus the material the Dots played in the cafe AFTER the radio show was finished. Songs included are “Isis Veiled”, “Our Dominion”, “12th”, “The More it stays the same” and a few others. A quiet beauty…. This TOQ CDR costs 13.50 Euros plus postage.
EDWARD KA-SPEL/THE SILVERMAN – The Whispering Wail (CDR)
Fine recordings from 2004 featuring Edward and Phil improvising with “The Whispering Wall” album in mind. It’s wild and loud and at times utterly uplifting. Again, this one comes recommended. All pieces unreleased and unheard outside Chez Dots. A TOQ CDR..it costs 13.50 Euros plus postage. 
VARIOUS ARTISTS – Mom
An excellent compilation from Beta Lactam Ring Records featuring an exclusive track from LPDs, as well as contributions from Nurse With Wound, Nadja, Andrew Liles, Troum and many others. All proceeds go to a very good cause… For more information contact: www.blrrecords.com. – From us it costs 15 Euros plus postage.
