Artist:	LEGENDARY PINK DOTS, THE
Title:	Seconds Late For The Brighton Line
Label:	ROIR
Format:	2LP
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	RUSLP 8317LP

"Unlike most acts of their vintage, The Legendary Pink Dots look forward. After more than 25 years, they continue to make compelling new music that is demanded by fans and maintains the high level of quality that set their careers in motion. Led by singer/songwriter Edward Ka-Spel and keyboardist/songwriter Phil 'Silverman' Knight, the band continues to create their singular brand of modern psychedelia. Edward Ka-Spel's lyrics breathe with a sagacity and cleverness only found in rock's greatest writers. Their new album Seconds Late For The Brighton Line finds the band in familiar territory; pulsing Krautrock, dark and sinister pop and epic post-industrial soundscapes. The album invites the listener to put on head phones, close their eyes and embark on a technicolor journey. Stand out tracks include the epic electronic groove of 'Russian Roulette', the pretty naivete of 'Someday' and the chilling goth-pop of 'Endless Time.'" Includes a 17+ minute vinyl-only bonus track.

Title:	Alchemical Playschool
Label:	SOLEILMOON RECORDINGS
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	CAD 032CD

Softpack CD reissue. "Alchemical Playschool is easily one of the most unusual Legendary Pink Dots albums ever released. Based on the Soleilmoon double CD Indian Soundscapes, these recordings are best enjoyed with a cold glass of Bhang Ki Thandai, following which the operation of heavy equipment or motor vehicles is strongly discouraged. Yes, this a trippy, psychedelic album, in the tradition of the Dots' Chemical Playschool albums, but it's been dusted with magical powders from the Orient, making it an altogether different experience from its predecessors. As experimental and esoteric works go, this is the band's definitive work. The album was conceived in 2004, following a Legendary Pink Dots tour. Edward Ka-Spel met with Soleilmoon owner Charles Powne, who had recently returned from a stay in India. Charles gave Edward a copy of his Indian Soundscapes 2xCD, and invited him to take the material and use it in a new Dots recording. The resulting music borrows lightly from the source material, deftly blends it with the band's signature electronic wizardry, and distills a potent brew redolent with the aromas of saffron, cardamom and flowers. We think you'll find it both irresistible and unforgettable."

"Alchemical Playschool is easily one of the most unusual Legendary Pink Dots albums ever released. Based on the LP and double CD Indian Soundscapes (on Soleilmoon), these recordings are best enjoyed with a cold glass of Bhang Ki Thandai, following which the operation of heavy equipment or motor vehicles is strongly discouraged. Yes, this a trippy, psychedelic album, in the tradition of earlier 'Chemical Playschool' albums, but it's been dusted with magical powders from The Orient, making it an altogether different experience from its predecessors. As experimental and esoteric works go, this is the band's definitive work. The album was conceived at the end of the the Dots' 2004 North American tour. Edward Ka-Spel met with Soleilmoon owner Charles Powne, who had recently returned from a stay in India. Charles gave Edward a copy of his Indian Soundscapes 2CD, and invited him to take the material and use it in a new Dots recording. The resulting music borrows lightly from the source material, deftly blends it with the band's signature electronic wizardry, and distills a potent brew redolent with the aromas of saffron, cardamom and flowers. We think you'll find it both irresistible and unforgettable. This vinyl edition, limited to 250 copies, is presented in a deluxe silkscreened gatefold folder made of recycled sugarcane fiber, with a full-color 9.5 x 20 inch (24 x 51 cm) poster. Each record is kept in its own hand-made marigold flower petal-infused, plastic-lined sleeve."

Title:	Paris in the Fall
Label:	SOLEILMOON RECORDINGS
Format:	DVD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	SDVD 008DVD

"Hearing that our 2009 Paris show was to be in small space called Le Klub, I admit being unable to stop a smile spreading across my face. During the sound check in another Paris club years earlier, a record label representative was experiencing problems over a guest list at the door. Filled with anger, he burst into the hall ranting and cursing in Parisian pidgeon English...This klub is fuckeeeng!' Those words instantly entered Dots-mythology -- an utterance used to let off steam in the face of frustration on the road (and always with a French accent). Legendary Pink Dots played a two-night residency at Le Klub, and the utterance was never needed. The first night was an intimate affair, while the second, which drew a weekend crowd, felt like a rock show in a shoebox. It was this second night that was filmed by Johanna Barda and her camera team." --Edward Ka-Spel.
"Coinciding with the Legendary Pink Dots' 2011 European tour (which includes a night in Paris) comes this live DVD. The performance took place on November 13, 2009, in an intimate Parisian nightclub, with a lineup featuring Edward Ka-Spel, Silverman, Martijn de Kleer and Niels van Hoon. Raymond Steeg worked the soundboard." NTSC, all-region. Running time: approx. 90 min.

Title:	Live at La Luna
Label:	SOLEILMOON RECORDINGS
Format:	DVD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	SOL 001DVD

"DVD reissue of the Legendary Pink Dots' first and only official live video recording. Recorded in 1997 near the end of their Hallway of the Gods tour of Canada and America, and originally issued in VHS format in 1998, Live at La Luna reveals like never before the magical atmosphere of sound and light created by Edward Ka-Spel and his talented crew. Captured by a pair of roving cameramen and a center camera filming from the balcony, the performance is presented as an ever-evolving collage of music and faces, from the keyboards of The Silverman to the saxophone flourishes of Niels van Hoorn, from the rhythm-n-bass section of Ryan Moore (Twilight Circus Dub Sound System) and Edwin von Trippenhof to the inimitable vocals of Edward Ka-Spel." It runs 60 minutes. NTSC Region 0.

Title:	Stained Glass Soma Fountains
Label:	SOLEILMOON RECORDINGS
Format:	2CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	SOL 046CD

"2CD of early rarities, back in print, now mid-price. This collection of songs brings together tracks from numerous rare cassettes, compilations and unreleased recordings, including the oldest surviving recording of the LPDs, made when the band was still called One Day. It should very much be considered a companion to Under Triple Moons, released recently by ROIR. Both CDs present the band's earliest works, many of which have been impossible to obtain until now."

Title:	Canta Mientras Puedas
Label:	SOLEILMOON RECORDINGS
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	SOL 047CD

1996 release, repressed. "Canta Mientras Puedas is of course Spanish for 'Sing While You May', and there are doubtless many people who will be asking themselves why The Legendary Pink Dots have chosen this unfamiliar language to give their second anthology album a title. The reason is that all members of The Legendary Pink Dots recently became followers of the obscure Romanian philosopher Iancu Ponguthrescu, who -- unlike many visionaries -- saw a wonderful, optimistic future for the world. Indeed the blessed Iancu predicted that a glorious golden age would begin for the planet in 1997 and would last for 25 million years. To this end, all wars would cease on December 31, 1996, all races and religions would unite, everyone would simultaneously turn into vegetarians, the city of Frankfurt would become a permanent free festival, and all borders would be cast aside. People would smile ALL THE TIME. The only exception would be a small village in Argentina called Los Voyos, where a mysterious cloud would hover, causing sore throats for the entire population of 68 people. This ailment would be incurable -- the people would never be able to sing again! Hence, the Pink Dots feel it's necessary to warn these innocent villagers now so they can move a little down the dusty path to a safer place. But how could the Pink Dots do this? The answer naturally is an album collecting together all of their seductive songs of the last five years. An album so beautiful and melodic that it would be piped through loudspeakers in the streets of Buenos Aires, and just maybe someone visiting the city would buy it and take heed of its very serious message. Including rare tracks and previously unreleased versions is the icing on the cake."

Title:	The Crushed Velvet Apocalypse
Label:	SOLEILMOON RECORDINGS
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	SOL 175CD

"The Legendary Pink Dots originally released The Crushed Velvet Apocalypse in 1990, sandwiched between the highly acclaimed albums The Golden Age and The Maria Dimension. Critics may differ, but fans generally consider this period to be the band's creative peak, an opinion that is backed up by solid and steady sales of the back catalog. The Crushed Velvet Apocalypse is an intoxicating blend of rock and psychedelia, seasoned with a touch whimsy, simultaneously engaging and memorable. Two decades on the music stands unblemished, timeless, enduring, and vital. For this reissue the music has been remastered by the Dots' soundman Raymond Steeg, and the CD booklet has been reworked and expanded."
