You can’t accuse THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS of laziness during their long career. They released 30+ studio albums and 50+ live LPs since their birth in 1980. Besides that their Dutch orchestrator Edward Ka-Spel found the time to record 60, yes sixty, solo albums.
And TLPD have no intention to rest on their laurels. They canned another
longplayer, named it SO LONELY IN HEAVEN and drop it on 17th January.
Creation: “‘So Lonely in Heaven’ is the second album by The Legendary Pink Dots
since the World stopped for a Global Pandemic. With members scattered across
three countries and two continents, our guilty confession is that quite a few Air 1
Miles were consumed in its creation. Ideas were spun across Cyberspace for months,
but the magic happened collectively in small spaces with the tape running.”

Message: “The machine is everything we are. It sees everything, hears everything, knows everything and feeds, speeds, drinks us down, spits us out – we lost control of it at the instant
of its conception. You may cough, curse and die, but the machine will resurrect you without the flaws, at your peak, smiling from a screen, bidding someone in a lonely room to join you.
It’s an invitation from Heaven, where anyone can be anything they want to be, but it’s a Nation of One. You’ll be everything we are. You’ll be a shadow of yourself. You’ll repeat yourself – endlessly. You’ll be desperate for some kind of explanation. You’ll be lonely. So very lonely.”
