The Legendary Pink Dots
are an Anglo-Dutch experimental rock band formed in London in August 1980. In 1984 the band moved to Amsterdam, playing with rotating musicians and having, as core members, singer/songwriter/keyboardist
Edward Ka-Spel
and keyboardist
Phil Knight
aka
The Silverman
. The band was originally called
One Day...
but subsequently changed the name to The Legendary Pink Dots, apparently inspired by pink dots on certain keys of the band's main recording studio piano. In the 1980s the band released albums on Mirrodot and In Phaze; in 1985 they signed with Play It Again Sam for the release of
The Lovers
. Their music touches on elements of neo-psychedelia, ambient music, electronic music, tape music, industrial, psychedelic folk, synthpop, post-punk, progressive, jazz, noise, pop, and goth rock, with a distinctly experimental/avant-garde bent; their sound has evolved over time and remains distinctive, making it difficult to place the group into a concise style or genre. The group's overall sound combined with Ka-Spel's distinct lyrics and singing have earned comparisons to
Pink Floyd
and
Syd Barrett
; the group also has links to the sounds of krautrock bands such as
Can
,
Faust
,
Brainticket
,
Magma
, or
Neu!
The first cassette
Only Dreaming
was an edition of nine copies, two of which had beautiful three-dimensional handmade covers.
Only Dreaming
was abandoned rather than deleted as the recorded output by The Dots expanded massively within months of the band's inception. The
Traumstadt
series collects compilation appearances by the group, with
Traumstadt 2
maybe being the best of these collections. It focuses on rare tracks from 1984 to 1988 and was originally released on cassette by the band's own Mirrordot label. For this CD re-issue, it has been remastered once again and this much-loved album now sounds better than ever before."
