THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS – Imperishable Rockers Drop New Album ‘SO LONELY IN HEAVEN’ On 17 Jan 2025

Coming up

29 December 2024

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.”

Kraftwerk Play Around With The Residents – Here’s New Spaced Out Album By THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS

Posted on by JL

18 March 2022

Band: THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS

Who: Anglo-Dutch experimental rock band
formed in London in August 1980.

Active: 1980–present / they released about a million LPs.

New album: THE MUSEUM OF HUMAN HAPPINESS

The new album was announced a couple of weeks ago with this Message:

““A cubicle for you, a cubicle for me….but not together… The Year 2020 was not a year for a band to ‘get things together in the country’, or gather in a room to write songs. This statement certainly applied to the Legendary Pink Dots with two members in The Netherlands and one in the UK. The pandemic reared its ugly head as the Dots’ criss-crossed Europe on the second stage of their 40th Anniversary Tour. Just a few days before much of Italy locked down the band was in Milan. A few days later, the destination was Cologne where they opted for a hotel in the countryside…it turned out that the resting place was one village away from the most lethal outbreak of the virus in Germany.
The tour eventually finished in a sold-out club with a worryingly low ceiling in London. There were hugs, a real feeling of togetherness with a truly lovely audience.
Then the World stopped. It was the last time The Dots were in the same room. Song writing and recording were necessarily deemed to happen in cyberspace for the rest of 2020 and 2021. As a result, the lyrics are utterly poignant, desperate, yet sometimes bearing a flash of gallows humour. The soundtrack is a purging fire. It’s a fire that still burns, and as I type this I can say I have never been so excited about the impending release of a new Dots’ album. Never mind the distance, there is a single-mindedness about “The Museum Of Human Happiness.” It’s 2022. We’ll meet again…

Turn Up The Volume: My message is simple. Listen to this pretty spaced-out record. Kraftwerk meet The Residents. Electro pioneers meet electro weirdos. Nirvana for zeoes.

Single: Hands Face Space
